Abstract
Heating system comprises solar heating panel, black fluid, and structure for selectively circulating black fluid through heating panel. Panel includes enclosure having light-transmitting upper surface, and light-transmitting conduit is closely arranged in serpentine fashion within enclosure. Reflective surface is positioned under conduit arrangement. In use, black fluid circulating through conduit arrangement absorbs solar energy, and in non-use black fluid is drained from conduit arrangement whereby reflective surface functions to reflect rays of sun away from heating panel.
