Summary
A modified Trombe wall is analysed theoretically and tested experimentally, with a low-inertia collector panel kept separate from the thermal storage mass inside the house so that less heat is lost through the wall. At night, the well-insulated panel acts as a thermal buffer that limits heat loss from the house. The analytical model was checked against measurements from a solar research house.
