A solar collector system comprises one or more slate absorber panels each including a series of heat collecting slate members arranged in a shingle-like closed assembly over which water is designed to flow for heating by solar energy. The system includes a trickle pipe mounted at one end of the sloped assembly so that water flows therefrom onto a copper plate having a baffle at one end and then onto the first of a series of slate members where the water is heated by the sun and finally flows into a collecting trough at the other end which also includes an outlet for the water. The assembly including the slate members is mounted within an aluminum jacket having a base and upwardly extending side portions to the ends of which closure members are mounted. Copper side channels of a particular configuration are mounted along both sides of each panel in a manner to provide improved sealing, particularly where a number of panels are to be ganged together. The base of the panel comprises a set thickness of rigid insulation supported by the aluminum jacket. The upper portion of the panel comprises a double insulated glass panel held in place by side frame members which engage the upwardly extending side portions of the jacket. The panels are mounted together in a system by means of rigid side frame members which are coupled together so that the slate absorber panels or cells can be ganged together in a predetermined arrangement.
