This invention relates to a fluid heating system, wherein the fluid is capable of being heated by means of solar energy, the fluid heating system including:—an outer housing;—an inner housing contained within the outer housing and including an absorbent material core located within the inner housing to define a flow passage between it and the walls of the inner housing; the absorbent material core being suitable for absorbing solar energy transmitted through the outer and inner housings; and—wherein the outer housing; inner housing; and the absorbent material core are arranged such that solar energy is transferred through the fluid in the flow passage before being absorbed by the absorbent material core. |
