A solar collector with a rectangular frame (1), preferably made of extruded or rollformed metal, containing an absorber plate (3), an insulating layer (2) beneath the absorber plate (3), and a cover pane (4) spaced above the absorber (3). Absorber tubing (3b.3c) is attached to the rear side of the absorber plate. The absorber (3) is secured to the frame (1) by mounting brackets (11a,11b) that engage the absorber tubing (3b,3c) and allow for substantially unhindered thermal expansion and contraction of the absorber. The collector can be integrated or roof mounted on a pitched roof, or may be installed on a flat roof by means of a mounting frame.
