About this material

roof tiles of glass

SolTech System is a solar system that with the help of glass roof tiles turns into an energy source, taking advantage of the sun’s energy. The roof tiles are made of glass, which allows the suns ray to penetrate on to the special fabric underneath that absorbs the solar energy. Beneath the absorption fabric, beams create a gap where air is heated and circulated. The energy is collected and channeled into the house via an air duct and integrated with the building’s existing heating system. Energy is generated even in Canada and Scandinavia in spring and autumn and on cloudy days.
