Summary:Disclosed is a solar water heating apparatus comprising a central tank and one or more outer layerswherein at least part of the exterior of the outermost layer is adapted to be exposed to the sun. The outer layers also formwater pathways such that, when the tank is substantially filled with water, said water is able to circulate around a path formed by said central tank and the outer layers.A pulsing pump may help circulatethe water. An auxiliary heating element may be also provided, such as a small gas burner. L'invention concerne un appareil de chauffage d'eau solaire comprenant un réservoir central et une ou plusieurs couches extérieures, au moins une partie de la zone externe de la couche la plus à l'extérieur étant adaptée pour être exposée au soleil. Les couches extérieures forment également des chemins pour l'eau de sorte que, lorsque le réservoir est sensiblement rempli d'eau, ladite eau soit capable de circuler autour d'un chemin formé par ledit réservoir central et les couches extérieures. Une pompe à impulsion peut aider à la circulation de l'eau. Un élément chauffant auxiliaire peut également être fourni, comme un petit brûleur à gaz.
