The invention relates to solar heating, and more particularly through glass structures or objects like: windows, doors, walls, etc.
Solar heat has been around from the beginning of the earth. Early man felt the power of the sun and found South face caves to live in. Over the years they started to build structures catch the sun raise better in the colder months.
Now solar heating is more important to day to help save the planet. The development of new ways to heat by solar and keep it cheap and affordable
Solar heating development has been based on capturing the power of the sun and containing it in sealed closed structures, like an oven or a furnace, to gain the highest temperatures from the sun. Then the head is distributed through manual and mechanical valves, to holding tanks or some type of heating system.
As like other solar systems, storing the heat gain is a large factor. This makes systems costly and also needs large areas and insulated containers to store the heat.
These solar systems need to be monitored, and manually or mechanically controlled, constantly.
What is needed, therefore, is a system that enhances and simplifies all the components of all existing systems. Also one that is easy to setup, take down, store and it's maintenance is free.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a Solar Film/Shade that produces the most amount of heat from the sun's rays using your existing windows, doors or glass areas.
One embodiment of the invention, Solar Heat Film, is that the film can be easily hung with two pieces of tape, by hooks, or by any other simple hanging procedure.
One embodiment of the invention is that the Solar Heat Shade could be added to a shade roll or be purchased with a shade roll, making it functional to open or close easily.
One embodiment of the invention is that the Solar Heat Film/Shade is black on both sides, in the same locations. By having the black on both sides of the whit fabric, it creates a motion to draw the most heat gain straight through the Solar Heat Film/Shade. This brings it directly into the structure you are trying to heat.
Another embodiment of the Solar Heat Film/Shade is the white part. The white part is the base material of the system. It's function is to let the heat pass through it. The white fabric does not capture or contain heat, it lets the heat flow inward.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the white part is to shade the bright sun's rays. The white fabric lets a comfortable amount of light into your room or structure.
One embodiment of the invention is the Solar Heat Film/Shade utilizes the room, house, or structure, as a battery to store the heat gain. The Solar Heat Film/Shade will add extra heat that will get slowly absorbed by the floor, walls, ceilings, furniture, etc. When the sun goes down, the furnace does not come on until later, and when it does it's just maintaining the temperature instead of trying to capture it up, this creates a big difference in fuel savings.
Another embodiment of the Solar Heat Film/Shade is the black, heat producing stripes. The black areas could also be selected to have any type of print pattern, to make it more appealing.
An additional feature includes wherein the white material is available to be selected from the groups consisting of: cotton, synthetic fiber, natural fiber, plastic, woven material, mesh, silks, polyesters, tweed, wool, yarn, leather, suede, paper, recyclables, cotton/algodon, canvas, burlap, organic, Tyvek, latex, PVC, bamboo, rubber, foam, cloth, hemp, animal skin, and combinations of said materials. This can also be multi-layered.
In yet another embodiment, the black area's material can be selected from, or be a mixture of: ink, paint, tar, rubber, sand, dirt, gypsum, wood, metal, synthetics, stains or dyes.
