Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9811393A1] A solar energy collector (10) has a generally planar panel (12). The generally planar panel has upper (16) and lower (20) generally planar surfaces, first and second end regions, and a planar portion (20) formed with a plurality of passages (22) extending up from one of the end regions of the other for receiving a solar energy-absorbing liquid. A respective end closure (14) is coupled to each or the end regions for conducting the solar energy-absorbing liquid to and from the passages. At least one of the end closures has means (42) enabling communication of at least one cavity with atmosphere. Each end closure has upper (26) and lower (28) limbs for sealingly gripping upper and lower surfaces of the panel (34). A kit of parts for a solar energy collector is also provided.
