Abstract
A solar heat energy collector is disclosed which includes an absorber in a housing beneath a transparent cover member. A plurality of closely spaced essentially parallel vane-like members extend horizontally between the absorber and cover member to inhibit convection currents within the housing, and are angularly variable as a function of the elevation of the sun.
