PURPOSE:To obtain the titled solar heat collector which is easily manufactured and of which heat exchangeability is high, by bending the condensing part of a heat pipe in the shape of L, by inserting one part of the bent part into a heating-medium pipe, and by connecting the heating-medium pipe to the heat pipe at its bent part. CONSTITUTION:The condensing part 2 of a heat pipe is constituted by butt welding two pipes being cut at 45 deg., so that the condensing part 2 of a heat pipe can be bent at right angles with each other, and a fin 6 is fitted to one side of the bent part, in a solar heat collector of heat pipe type which collects solar rays, and the collected heat is transferred to a heating medium using a heat pipe. The condensed part 2 of a heat pipe is disposed to the inside of a heating- medium pipe 1 in parallel with the circulating direction of the heating medium, and the heat pipe is projected from the side of the heating-medium pipe 1, while another end 4 of the heat pipe is inserted into a solar heat collecting part 5 of a solar heat collector.
