ABSTRACT:
In solar energy collecting apparatus the problems of leakage due to differential thermal expansion and contraction between different parts of the collector, duplication of parts, fixed factory costs, and the unnecessary use of expensive materials are solved by using collector members made using on-site roll-forming machines, the assembly of parts at the job site, and collector members that connect side by side, each having a sheet metal collector plate (11) as the principal part of a weather membrane above underlying support structure. A unique cover (13) and method of forming the cover enable use of relatively inexpensive film that is supported on side supports held to a pair of opposed sidewall portions (18 and 19) of a collector panel (31) so as to accommodate ready replacement of covers for individual collector members and ready attachment by joiner strips in an assembly of the collector members connected side by side. A pair of opposed sidewall portions (23 and 24) of a bottom panel are longitudinally slidable in opposed attachment members (78) rigidly secured to the underlying support structure (71 and 72 ) and have a bottom wall (15) connected to the ends of the lower passage to form an air passage to transfer heat from the collector plate. The collector plate (11) is suspended from the support structure to allow for relative expansion and contraction of the collector plate and associated collector member structure due to temperature changes.
