COMPONENT
The invention relates to a component that is designed as a solar collector and that has at least one chamber (13) through which a liquid or gaseous (vaporous) heat transfer medium flows. The chamber (13) is delimited by planar or curved panel-type or film-type elements (1, 3). The elements (1, 3) delimiting said chamber (13) are transparent (clear), and therefore not opaque or diffusely translucent, as a result of the selection of material of which they consist and/or of coatings, being designed in such a manner that light in spectrum B enters into said chamber (13) and is preferably absorbed by the heat transfer medium.
