ABSTRACT:
A solar collector adapted to be conveniently installed on a roof or similar structure includes a casing having a continuous bottom flange adapted to be secured to the roof and providing flashing for suitable roofing material. A continuous side wall extends upwardly from the flange and a continuous shoulder along the side wall and extends outwardly from a lower portion of the side wall to an upper portion thereof. A solar collector heat pan includes a generally flat heat plate having an upper face carrying typical tubing for a liquid to be heated by solar energy, the pan further having a continuous depending flange positioned on the casing shoulder with the plate substantially flush with the top edge of the casing. A light transmitting cover overlies the heat pan and has a continuous depending flange extending above the heat plate so that solar energy may engage the heat plate during relatively early and late daylight hours. The casing side wall is preferably solid and the cover flange extends about the upper portion of the side wall so that wind and foreign matter such as dust and precipitation are effectively prevented from entering below the heat pan within the cover.
