Abstract: The invention relates to an absorber (10), which can be used to produce heat by means of solar heating, the absorber comprising an upper metal sheet (12) facing the sun and a lower metal sheet (14) facing away from the sun, between which sheets conducting means (18, 54) are provided for the substantially linear and/or homogeneous conduction of a fluid from an inlet (20) to an outlet (24). The inlet (20) and/or the outlet (24) and/or the conducting means (18, 54) are formed by the upper metal sheet (12) and/or the lower metal sheet (14), wherein the inlet (20) and/or the outlet (24) and/or the conducting means (18, 54) can be produced by deep-drawing, thereby resulting in a particularly simple and cost-effective production of the absorber (10).
