ABSTRACT:
An improved solar collector has a one piece monolithic fiberglass frame and back assembly in which all of the collector components are mounted. A mounting flange integral with the frame facilitates securing the collector in place on a roof or other support. The frame has a double wall construction forming internal steps that support the absorber plate and anti-convection cover at the proper locations for maximum heat collection. Further, all fluid connections to and from the absorber plate are made through the frame so that the required plumbing can be brought out in any direction between the frame walls. Suitable insulation is provided in the panel between the absorber plate and the back as well as between the frame walls to minimize radiation losses through the sides and back of the collector.
