<p>A solar collector system is constructed on a support structure, such as a roof 14, which has a plurality of side-by-side channels 16 that may be formed between roof battens 20. The solar collector comprises a length of an elongate web 26 of flexible material that is formed with a plurality of generally parallel thermal transfer fluid passageways extending in the longitudinal direction of the web and spaced apart across the width of the web. A first run 26c of the web is laid along a first of the channels of the support structure so that one face of the web faces out of the first channel. The web is split longitudinally between at least one adjacent pair of the passageways adjacent and beyond the end of the first run and is curved so that the web enters a second of the channels of the support structure. A second run 26d of the web can then be laid along the second channel so that the one face of the web faces into the second channel.</p> |
