Abstract
A liquid containing carbon particles in a predetermined concentration is circulated through a multiplicity of channels in a solar panel to heat the liquid which is then circulated through a heat exchanger. The solar panel is clear and uncolored, and the surfaces of the panel contacting the liquid are wetted with a wetting agent added to the liquid. The carbon particles are also wetted. The liquid is uniformly distributed through all the channels in the panel.
