Dick Strawbridge made one out of an old radiator painted black, and one made from copper tubing put into a black box with a glass lid on it. You can find out more on

The ones he is using now are commercially built units, but on the original TV series he built the home made ones. You may still find links to the original info from his new site.

Solartwin type panel is a flat plate panel rather than the evacuated tube type.
