A solar-energy collector has an absorber (5, 31) located in the bottom of a box-like casing, which includes a cover plate (1) which is permeable to solar radiation. The casing encloses a dry gas, to thereby avoid condensation in the solar-energy collector. The casing is hermetically sealed and contains a constant quantity of gas. The cover plate is movably suspended in a resilient frame (2, 20) which forms part of the casing and which permits movement of the cover plate in a direction perpendicular to the plane thereof in response to changes in gas temperature. This enables harmful pressure variations to be avoided in the collector, and the cover plate rests, well protected, on an elastically resilient cushion of gas.
