ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector is shown which is comprised of an underlying support, a support surface, and a combined reflector and heat absorber. The combined reflector and heat absorber is formed from a continuous sheet of material to provide contiguous parabolic reflectors, each reflector having an upstanding heat absorber centrally located therein in the form of a fluid conduit. The absorber-fluid conduit is closed along one edge by the support surface or by a spacer between support surfaces. A pair of manifolds are operatively connected at the ends of the heat absorbers to enable heat-absorbing fluid to flow in from one manifold, through the absorber-conduits, and out the other manifold. The continuous formation of the parabolic reflectors and heat absorbers from one sheet provides production economies, manufacturing efficiencies and reduced weight and cost of the solar energy collector.
