A solar energy heat storage and transfer system (30) for use in a solar heating system includes an arrangement of interconnected heat storage modules (10). A first air path is provided from the solar collector through an inlet manifold (52) to the interior of each of the heat storage modules (10) to transfer the heat through the air passageways through a plurality of heat storage tubes (12). The first air path is completed by the return of the air to the solar collector from the heat storage modules (10) through an exhaust air manifold (54). A second air path is provided by a housing (32) surrounding the arrangement of heat storage modules (10) and connected to the distribution network of the heating system. An air inlet (34) allows air from the interior of a building to enter the bottom of the housing (32) and flow around an exterior conductive sheet (20) around each heat storage module (10) and through the outlet (36) to the remainder of the air distribution network of the system.
