FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: solar collector comprises two side profiles, every of which is made in the form of a vertical wall, having bulges at the ends with guide slots, perpendicular to the wall, a transparent barrier made of glass fixed at sides in upper slots of side profiles, a rear wall fixed at sides in lower slots of side profiles, an absorber with tubes for a coolant flow arranged between the glass and the rear wall, and heat insulation arranged between the absorber and the rear wall. Cavities of side profiles between slots are filled with side heat insulation. The collector is equipped with two end "П"-shaped profiles and two end covers. The glass is additionally fixed at end sides between end covers and upper shelves of the end "П"-shaped profiles. The rear wall is additionally fixed at end sides between end covers and lower shelves of the end "П"-shaped profiles. Cavities of end "П"-shaped profiles between shelves are filled with end heat insulation. Upper slots of side profiles are arranged with width that exceeds thickness of glass fixed in them, and upper shelves of upper slots at the end are equipped with a ledge.

EFFECT: simplified manufacturing of a solar collector and its increased reliability.
