A solar heat collector which is constructed of a frame upon which are mounted a plurality of separate louvered panels. With the panels being mounted on the frame, the collector assumes a basic elliptical shape in transverse cross-section forming an interior closed area. The upper surface of this area (nearest the sun) is formed of two separate identical panels which are positioned in a substantially edge-abutting reversed relationship. The lower surface of the enclosed area (furthest from the sun) is also formed of two separate identical panels which are also located in an edge-abutting reversed relationship. Construction of the lower surface panels is different than the construction of the upper surface panels with the louvers being pitched at different angles. Within the enclosed area there is to be located an energy converting device assembly which can either take a form of a photovoltaic cell assembly or a heat pipe assembly.
