Abstract
A flexible solar energy collector of unitary, one-piece, self-supporting construction provided with substantially true-round manifolds and secondary manifolds interposed between the primary manifolds and a multiplicity of fluid flow passages extending transversely therebetween. The opposite end portions of the primary manifolds are provided with inserts for reinforcing the same. Means are provided for coupling adjacent collectors together to form an array of such collectors in a solar heat collecting system.
