Disclosed are a de-icing device for a solar panel and a method of operating the same. The de-icing device for the solar panel and the method of operating the same include a sensor unit, a power supply unit, a switching unit, and a control unit, so that it is possible to provide a high-efficiency de-icing device for the solar panel in which snow deposited on the solar penal may be dissolved by applying a reverse current to the solar panel. In addition, it is possible to provide a high-efficiency and high-precision de-icing device for the solar panel in which solar power generation and de-icing may be simultaneously performed and the amount of the reverse current may be controlled.
A solar thermal collector is disclosed. The solar thermal collector has side surfaces and a bottom supported by a support frame shaped into a square shifter and installed tilted on a rooftop of a building by means of a plurality of angle connections. The solar thermal collector includes a reverse bias circuit. The top of a lower surface of the support frame is level with a tilted surface of the solar thermal collector or the support frame includes a tilted surface tiled downward, which is formed along a horizontal direction, lower than the surface of the solar thermal collector.

A solar thermal collector having a snow-melting function and a heat-radiation function is disclosed. According to the present invention, snow accumulated on the solar thermal collector plate can more smoothly flow down along the surface of the inclined solar thermal collector plate, and electricity charged by receiving and converting solar energy into electric energy is inversely resupplied to each solar cell of the solar thermal collector plate so as to allow the solar cells to generate heat so as to melt the snow, thereby more quickly, efficiently, and simply removing the accumulated snow, and thus degradation in the function of the solar thermal collector plate caused by snow during the wintertime can be prevented. Furthermore, since the power generation efficiency of a solar panel due to the heat generated from the solar thermal collector plate in the summertime is lowered, the heat-radiation function is added to the solar thermal collector plate by using carbon nanofibers, thereby improving the power generation efficiency of the solar panel.
