| Component | Materials & Specifications |
| Glass Cover | Toughened glass (glazing) protects the absorber from the outside environment while allowing through >90% of sunlight. |
| Solar Absorber | A thin sheet of Aluminium is coated with a highly selective material that is extremely efficient at absorbing sunlight and converting it into usable heat. The aluminium sheet is ultrasonically welded to the copper riser pipes. |
| Back Sheet | An aluminium alloy sheet seals the back of the panel and adds to the rigidity of the collector. |
| Riser & Head Pipes | The header and riser pipes are brazed together to form a harp shaped heat exchanger that the solar system heat transfer fluid circulates through. The absorber sheet is ultrasonically welded to the riser pipes, thus transfers heat to the heat transfer fluid. |
| Aluminium Rails | Extruded from high tensile 6063 aluminium alloy, the rails form the outer framework of the collector and are designed with wings for easy mounting frame attachment. |
