Panel system with moisture removal

A panel system, comprising:

• a plurality of bodies, wherein each body comprises:
• a surface,
• a depth extending from the surface, and
• a first conduit extending through the body and located within the depth for channeling water through the body, wherein locating the first conduit within the depth increases the structural integrity of the body and the amount of the surface available for attachment;
• and
• a building wall receiving the plurality of bodies thereon, whereby the surface of each body attaches to the building wall with no space therebetween and the plurality of bodies are positioned such that a first conduit from one body aligns and fluidly communicates with a first conduit from an adjoining body, thereby channeling water from the plurality of bodies.

A method of attaching a panel system to a building wall, comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of bodies, wherein each body comprises:
• a surface,
• a depth extending from the surface, and
• a first conduit extending through the body and located within the depth for channeling water through the body, wherein locating the first conduit within the depth increases the structural integrity of the body and the amount of the surface available for attachment;
• providing a building wall that receives the plurality of bodies thereon;
• attaching the surface of each body to the building wall with no space therebetween, whereby the plurality of bodies are positioned such that a first conduit from one body aligns and fluidly communicates with a first conduit from an adjoining body;
• and
• channeling water from the plurality of bodies using the first conduit of each body.
