Modular collector panels are adapted for flush or recessed mounting on a pitched roof, or may be installed on a flat roof by means of a mounting frame, the panel sections being interconnected in side-by-side relation to one another by a unique form of side and end wall connector assembly which serves to interconnect the panels in sealed relation to one another to the roof or other housing as well as to support and house the component parts of the panel section including the glazing, absorber plate and insulating layer in unitary relation to one another.

In a solar collector panel assembly, a prefabricated modular panel section adapted for interchangeable mounting on the flat external surface of a roof or between spaced adjacent joists on a roof comprising in combination: an absorber plate having opposite sides and ends, an insulating layer beneath and in surrounding relation to said absorber plate, and an upper glazing layer spaced above said absorber plate, and an outer enclosure having a bottom panel beneath said insulating layer, end wall panels along opposite ends of said panel section with the lower edges of said end wall panels adjoining opposite ends of said bottom panel, and vertical sidewall panel members along opposite sides of said panel section extending the length thereof, each sidewall panel member having a glazing layer-supporting ledge directed inwardly from said sidewall panel member adjacent to its upper end, an outwardly directed channel, and a lower inwardly offset portion disposed beneath one of said opposite sides of said absorber plate and terminating in a lower edge adjoining a side edge of said bottom panel, each sidewall panel member including means for interchangeable mounting on the external flat surface of a roof or in a recessed roof mounting in which the spacing between said lower inwardly offset portions of each panel section is such as to permit said lower inwardly offset portions to be inserted between spaced adjacent joists along the roof.
