A solar heating system for heating domestic water or a heat transfer heating fluid has at least one external heating element which receives solar energy. The heating element is in the form of a panel which is formed by a first plate and a second plate which is connected to the first plate, the first and second plates being symmetrically profiled so as to form, outside contact zones between the first plate and the second plate, a flow channel for the passage of the domestic water or the heat transfer heating fluid which is to be heated and which flows in the panel. The first plate and second plate are deep-drawn from steel and connected to each other by laser welding over the entire surface of the contact zones. At least one of the first plate or the second plate has been subjected to surface texturing by laser processing.

The system and method to maintain the temperature inside a building or house within comfort levels independently of the Grid. The system has a collector; an accumulator; and a transformer, which is the building or house. The method consists of transforming energy from solar radiation into thermal energy, accumulating that energy into an accumulator, and using that accumulated thermal energy to warm the internal environment of buildings or houses. One of its loops functions between dawn and sunset and includes only the collector and the accumulator; its second loop includes only the accumulator and the transformer and operates primarily between sunset and dawn. The collector uses a blackened surface to transform sun's radiation into thermal energy to warm air that is used to conduct the thermal energy throughout the system. The system can be built with inexpensive material; utilized in significantly isolated areas; and constructed and assembled on site.
