A solar system heating component is provided for use in a solar heating system. The heating system comprises a solar collector structure operatively connected to a heat-dissipating structure for using the heat energy which the system produces. Refrigerant is used in the system. The refrigerant is boiled in the collector and condensed in the heat dissipating structure. The solar heating system component is located downstream from the heat dissipating structure and prevents flow of liquid refrigerant back to the collector structure when the temperature in the system rises to a predetermined level. The component also includes other structure including a sight glass, servicing structure and means for mounting auxilliary components.
