An air freshener apparatus delivering passive solar collection, solar energy transfer, evaporation of a plurality of solids, gels, and liquids, vapor diffusion process, and working in conjunction with the solar filtering characteristics provided by a plurality of standard glass panes contained in automobiles an buildings. The apparatus includes a panel for absorbing solar energy, a process for coating said panel with a plurality of highly solar heat absorptive coating materials and optional photo-chromic coatings, a plurality of breathable insulating substrate membranes directly adjacent to said coated panel, a sealant, and an impregnated plurality of microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated solids, gels, or liquids into said plurality of breathable insulating substrate membranes. Initial solar collection and subsequent evaporation of said plurality of microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated solids, gels or liquids into vapors is achieved by means of placing the apparatus to the inner side of a plurality of standard glass panes in automobiles and buildings. Apart from aiding in the evaporation of said plurality of microencapsulated and non-microencapsulated solids, gels or liquids into vapors, solar energy transfer from said plurality of solar coatings on apparatus surface to a plurality of breathable insulating membranes is used to achieve diffusion of said vapors and associated fragranced aromas by means of natural air flow in one embodiment of hanging the air freshener apparatus. In a second embodiment, diffusion of said vapors and associated fragranced aromas is achieved by means of connecting the present invention, with its attachable clip, to the louvers of an automobile's ventilation system that, when blowing air, diffuses fragrance into the air inside of an automobile. In a novel feature, one embodiment of the invention discloses physical space on the surface of the solar evaporated air freshener to absorb a plurality of standard inks and inks containing light sensitive, color changing photo-chromic molecules with said surface space being used for brand, product and or service advertising.

An air freshener apparatus to atomize and diffuse liquids or suspensions into a mist by means of conversion of collected solar energy into thermal radiation passed through a wire for optionally heating said liquids and conversion of solar energy into electrical energy stored in batteries and used for subsequent atomization of said optionally heated liquids by means of piezoelectric ultrasonic vibrations. In one embodiment, the resulting mist and fragranced aromas of atomized liquids or suspensions are communicated through housing vent openings to an external environment such as a room or an automobile. In an alternative embodiment, additional diffusion of said atomized liquids and associated fragranced aromas is achieved by means of connecting the present invention, with its attachable clip, to the louvers of a building's or an automobile's ventilation system that, when blowing air, provides additional diffusion of fragrance into the air inside of a building or an automobile.
