A solar energy capture system comprises a board 5, a loop of pipe 2 containing fluid, and a roofing surface 3, where the loop is situated between the board and surface. Preferably, the board is a form of heat retention or insulation board, such as is commonly used for insulating roofing spaces, and may be formed from compressed fibres or may alternatively be an aerated fibre board. The board edges may be rebated or scalloped so as to fit to another opposingly disposed board edge. The loop may comprise metal, rubber or plastic tubing. Preferably, the roofing surface is formed by cladding, such as ridged metal sheeting, where the cladding forms a weatherproof upper facing surface. The system may also include steam generation apparatus to allow for electrical production. The system is preferably utilised in the construction of a roof 1.
