ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A solar energy collector is described for use in a solar heating system. According to one aspect of the inven- tion, the collector includes first and second headers, each including an internal chamber disposed about a longitudinal axis and a slot communicating with said chamber and defined by opposed generally parallel surfaces which extend outwardly from said chamber and longitudinally of the header. An extruded plastic panel extends between the headers and de- fines a plurality of open-ended passages extending from end to end of the panel and along which liquid can flow for heating by solar radiation. Opposite end portions of the panel are received in the slots in the respective headers with upper and lower surfaces of each said portion in surface-to-surface contact with said opposed parallel surfaces defining the slot in the relevant header, and the panel is sealed to the headers in liquid-tight fashion. The slots in the headers are dis- posed in a common plane offset from and parallel to a plane containing the axes of said chambers of the respective headers so that, when the collector is disposed on a support surface in use, the headers can be positioned with the panel closely adjacent to said surface and presenting an air gap of minimum height between the panel and said surface so as to minimize exposure of the panel to wind damage in use.
