Abstract

A solar collector (1, 100; 1', 100') comprising: - at least one collector element (2, 102) including a transparent portion (4, 104') and an internally reflecting portion (6, 106'), wherein the at least one collector element (2, 102) is deformable from a substantially flat shape to a substantially tubular shape, - support means (10, 110) arranged for receiving a solar absorber device (8), - at least one shaping element (16, 18; 116, 118) positionable at each opposite end of the at least one collector element (2, 102) to maintain the substantially tubular shape, The at least one shaping element (16, 18; 116, 118) is integral with the at least one collector element (2, 102) and is foldable towards the interior of the collector element (2, 102) when the collector element (2, 102) takes the substantially tubular shape.
