1. A insulated structural panel, comprising:
- a rigid foam core having first and second faces;
a plurality of hat channels on the first and second faces of the rigid foam core;
first L-channels on the first and second faces of the rigid foam core toward a first edge of the rigid foam core;
second L-channels on the first and second faces of the rigid foam core toward a second edge of the rigid foam core wherein the second edge is opposite and parallel to the first edge;
the first and second L-channels are substantially perpendicular to the plurality of hat channels and are attached thereto;
opposing ones of the plurality of hat channels are attached together so as to be in compression with the first and second faces of the rigid foam core;
wherein each of the plurality of hat channels are three dimensional structural members having at least six bends along a long axis thereof.

Abstract
A insulated structural panel is formed with a rigid foam core, a plurality of vertical hat channels on either face of the rigid foam core, and horizontal top and bottom L-channels on either face of the rigid foam core. The plurality of vertical hat channels on opposing faces of the rigid foam core are attached together so as to compress the rigid foam core, thus adding structural strength to the insulated structural panel.

28. A insulated structural panel, comprising:
-
a rigid foam core having first and second faces;
a plurality of hat channels on the first and second faces of the rigid foam core;
top L-channels on the first and second faces of the rigid foam core toward a top edge of the rigid foam core;
bottom L-channels on the first and second faces of the rigid foam core toward a bottom edge of the rigid foam core wherein the bottom edge is opposite and parallel to the top edge;
