Solar collector

Abstract

A solar collector ( 1 ) includes two panels ( 2, 3 ) of which at least one panel ( 2 ) can be designed as a solar module, wherein the panels ( 2, 3 ) are connected to each other and held spaced apart from each other by webs ( 5 ) that are distributed over the surface of the solar collector ( 1 ). The webs ( 5 ) between the panels ( 2, 3 ) of the solar collector ( 1 ) are arranged in such a manner that the interior space ( 4 ) is divided to form a flow path, which can be achieved as a result of the fact that the webs ( 5 ) start alternately from one edge ( 9, 10 ) of the solar collector ( 1 ) and are spaced from the opposite edge ( 10, 9 ). The webs ( 5 ) are strips that are connected via plastic strands ( 12 ) to the inner faces of the panels ( 2 and 3 ).
