A rigid, supportive cell structure disposed within an evacuated or partially evacuated space between a metallic solar collector plate with an attached fluid conduit and an outer, protective cover plate below the collector plate. The walls of the cell structure are comprised of thin, non-heat-conductive strips of material which are perpendicular to the collector plate and the cover plate and divide them into a multiplicity of evacuated cells having greatly increased insulation value and strength. The combination is a supportive cell structure below the collector plate and a supportive cell structure above the collector plate. A copending application, Ser. No. 076,971, was filed Sept. 20, 1979 on the supportive cell structure above the collector plate.
