A solar collector system comprises a number of solar collector panels formed from sheet material and positionable side by side in overlapping relationship to form a roof structure. Preferably, each panel includes a flat mid-section and side regions with formations raised above the mid-section which overlap with adjacent panel formations. At least one of the side regions of each panel may include a lip for fixing to a building member. Preferably, the system also incorporates roof flashing elements, at the ends and sides of the panels, as part of the roof structure. In use, the solar panels may be of a solar thermal type that converts solar energy into heat energy, or of a photovoltaic (PV) type for the production of electrical energy, or a combination of both solar thermal and photovoltaic. |
