<p>A solar collector has a housing and an effective absorbing zone within the housing. The housing has a shape of a closed box and includes a receiving member and an at least partially transparent cover. Solar energy enters the housing via the cover to heat fluid within the effective absorbing zone, and the effective absorbing zone has an inlet manifold, a spaced apart outlet manifold and a plurality of plastic tubes that extend between the manifolds. One of the manifolds is rigidly fixed to the housing and the other manifold is flexibly fixed to the housing via at least one flexible joint.</p> |
