Solar energy collector as energy storage by using three (3) different heat storage material makes the collector with the collector size 250 cm x 80 cm can produce high temperatures. in this test used three (3) types of heat storage material with a thickness of 6 cm. position the collector made lopsided 150. the number of obstacles as much as six pieces. the composition of the barriers in the form of a shaped turn duct with point of view in (1300). this research was conducted in the open air by using solar energy as an energy source for heating, measurements of temperature were conducted three points on the collector chamber and three-point temperature measurements on heat storage material where the laying of the thermocouple at a depth of three (3) cm of 6 cm thick heat storage materials in used. tests conducted from 10:00 am to 21:00 pm. the results showed, the maximum air temperature in the collector by using asphalt heat storage material that is 89 0c at 13.00 and measuring the maximum temperature of the heat storage material on asphalt heat storage material that is 88 0c at 13:00. from the results of this experimental test states that the collector point of view duct in 1300 barrier capability collector heats the air in the duct is passably and the ability to store asphalt heat storage material is viable material.
