ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector structure has been provided which comprises a plurality of at least partially evacuated tubular members arranged in a group and closely packed in parallel axial alignment. The tubular members are joined together to form a tube sheet. A unitary insulating support structure having a recess therein is adapted to receive the tube sheet in tandem therewith, the tube sheet being sealed within the recess of the support structure along respective opposite lateral margins thereof to form a flow channel therebetween. The support structure has headers integrally formed therewith and includes means for providing flow communication with the flow channel. An absorber, disposed behind the tube sheet, in communication with the flow channel, intercepts and absorbs solar energy, which by heat transfer is carried off by a working fluid in heat exchange relation with the absorber.
