ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A solar energy collection system for a building is disclosed. The system includes a solar energy collec- tor of modular form disposed at the exterior of the building and comprising an assemblange of individual collector units coupled together side-by-side. Each unit includes a plurality of flexible plastic panels suspended in upright positions at the exterior of the building and the panels include a first panel which is adapted to absorb solar energy and which constitutes a solar energy absorbant body, said panel having front and rear surfaces from both of which solar energy absorbed by the body can be transmitted as sensible heat. Second and third panels are spaced outwardly from the respective front and rear surfaces of the first panel and define therewith passageways in which air can absorb heat transmitted from the solar energy absorbant body. These passageways communicate with an inlet and an outlet, the outlet being higher than the inlet so that heated air in the passageways tends to rise by convection towards the outlet. A fourth panel is disposed at the inner side of the unit and is spaced from the third panel to form a passageway defining a return air flow conduit and communicating adjacent the lower end of the unit with the inlet of said heated air passageways. Two end panels are dis- posed at respectively opposite ends of the unit generally transversely with respect to the first mentioned panels and are coupled thereto to define sealed ends for the passageways. The unit also includes means defining a closed lower end of the unit and at least those panels in front of the solar energy absorbant body are transparent to sunlight. The system also includes heating means in the building including a circulation circuit for heating fluid and heat exchange means coupled to the air passageway out- lets and to the return air flow conduits of the solar energy collector units and to the circulation circuit of the building heating means and arranged to permit heat transfer between the heated air and the heating fluid.
