Claims13
A solar thermal system, comprising:
- at least one solar thermal collector for heating a heat transfer fluid (HTF);
- and
- at least one conduit for transporting the HTF into and out of the at least one solar thermal collector, said at least one conduit defining a closed section;
- wherein said HTF transfers heat to exterior of said at least one solar thermal collector for consumption by an energy user;
- and
- wherein said at least one conduit is monolithically formed from a single, homogeneous material, specifically a polymeric foam, to ensure uniform thermal properties and structural integrity throughout.
