A solar energy collector has members exposed to the sun to collect heat from the sun's rays and has at least one fluid carrying conduit in heat exchange relationship with the members. Heat energy collected by the members is transferred by conduction to the fluid in the conduit for utilization. The collecting members most remote from the fluid carrying conduit are constructed with a thinner cross sectional thickness than the portion closest to the fluid carrying conduit so as to improve the heat transfer through the member from the surface to the fluid in the conduit.
