In 2010, the most impressive innovation in roof tile development probably is solTech, which will convert solar energy to 'passive' heat.
Its working theory is simple. Air below the glass tile is heated by the sun and redirected for use by the central heating system. The system works with air-based and water-based heating systems, including, for example, a ground source heat pump, air heat pump, pellet boiler, oil boiler, or electric boiler.
The SolTech solar energy system, solTech System, is the flexible solar heating system that works for all types of buildings such as offices, hotels, appartment buildings and industrial buildings.
The system is designed to be integrated with the existing house's energy solution, whether it is a ground source heat pump, air heat pump, pellet boiler, oil boiler or electric boiler.
solTech roof system is especially helpful in snowy climates since snow easily slides down the glassy tiles.
It's an idea to improve people's living conditions. The roof tile engineers make it come true. Maybe the roof tile manufacturer should put more attention to local market's needs instead of sitting back, waiting and copying.
