Abstract

A solar water heating panel 1 comprises an absorber plate 2, a companion plate 3, a gasket 4, a frame 5 and a means for securing the frame to the perimeter of the companion plate. The companion plate is located below the absorber plate, with the gasket sandwiched between the absorber plate and the companion plate. The frame surrounds the absorber plate, the companion plate and the gasket, and may comprise a flange portion 12. The securing means is provided in order that the absorber plate and the gasket are clamped between the frame and the companion plate to form a watertight seal around their edges. Preferably, the securing means are fasteners 13, such as screws, bolts or rivets. In use, fluid can pass directly underneath the absorber plate and absorb heat from solar radiation hitting the absorber plate, and the absorber plate can bend to accommodate the expansion of fluid during freezing. Preferably, the absorber plate is able to bend within its elastic limit without any mechanical damage occurring.
