A compact solar heat generator, useable in a predetermined range of latitudes, comprising: (a) a frame having an open top, insulated bottom and side walls defining a chamber, said frame having interior reflective faces for receiving and redirecting solar rays to a location within the chamber; (b) a closed container having a wall and at least one surface permitting passage of solar rays and at least one heat generating surface at or adjacent said container wall, said one surface being oriented relative to said top and said reflective surface to receive through said one surface both direct and reflected solar rays to transfer energy to the interior of said container, said container being thermally insulated from the generator surroundings and positioned within said chamber at said location and further having fluid inlet and outlet ports for circulating a fluid to be heated through said container; (c) a transparent cover for said frame secured to said frame, said cover and frame inclined to be approximately normal to the sun\s rays when mounted; and (d) said frame being mountable at a given angular position for receiving solar rays.
