ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector consists of a plurality of collector elements (5, 6, 7, 8) which can be secured on a preferably inclined supporting surface (2), for example a roof, and which have each a base body (9) with one or several collector channels lying in a plane (12) that faces the sun and connectable to a heat transfer fluid network, as well as possibly one or several absorber channels lying in a plane (13) transversely oriented to the collector channel. At least in the area of two parallel sides among its four sides, the base body (9) of the collector element is provided with a coupling stud (15) that extends transversely to the plane (14) of the base body, and at it opposite side, the base body (9) is provided with a coupling groove (17) whose dimensions are adapted to those of the coupling stud (15) and which receives the coupling stud (15) of the directly adjacent base body (9). Studs and grooves help to solidly anchor the base bodies to each other and at the same time to seal them with respect to the supporting surface. In order to be able to arrange the collector element both on north-south oriented roofs and on east-west oriented roofs without having to fear leaks, at least on the side of the base body provided with the first coupling stud (15) that extends transversely to the plane (14) of the base body is arranged a second coupling stud (16) which extends in the same direction. A second coupling groove (18) associated with this second coupling stud and whose dimensions are adapted to those of the second coupling stud (16) is arranged at the opposite side of the base body (9).
