Abstract
Structural insulated metal panels each include exterior and interior skins and an interior core of stiff, incompressible, insulating material. Fluid conduits extend within the panels in contact with the exterior skin to circulate fluid for heat exchange. Photovoltaic cells may be secured to the exterior skin proximate to the conduits to cool the PV cells. Edge joining features enable easy assembly of the panels into an extended matrix that is airtight, weatherproof, insulated, and self-supporting due to the inherent structural strength of the laminated panel assemblies. The panels can be configured both as solar collectors (both thermal and photovoltaic) and radiant hydronic heaters. The supply manifolds of the solar thermal panels, and the connections and output wiring of the photovoltaic panels, are enclosed in a ridge cap, and the return manifolds are enclosed in a soffit cap, yet all are accessible for maintenance.
