Solar-Energy
Collecting Building Material
Architects and real estate
developers cite two reasons for their reticence to adopt solar
thermal collectors: cost and unsightliness of the contemporary
solar thermal systems that decreases the property re-sale
value. Solar Tomorrow’s proprietary solar thermal system
solves both of these problems by adding functionality and
changing the appearance of the collectors.
Added
functionality –
Solar Tomorrow’s solar thermal collectors are integrated
directly into the building’s façade and/or roof as
a building material (cladding), reducing the thermal load on the
building, capturing thermal energy, and serving as a structural
element capable of bearing considerable loads, all at the same
time. The multiple functions of the collector decrease the cost
of the solar thermal system.
Aesthetic
appearance – Solar
Tomorrow’s collectors integrate seamlessly into building
façades resembling appearance of externally facing materials.
The material may also be integrated into any roof surface.
Solar Tomorrow’s technology offers
substantial energy savings and lowers the cost of implementation
of the solar thermal system.
