Resumo:A new design of solar roof is presented. It is a roof-integrated solar collector that is configurable by water redistribution. This way, this active system can provide household heating and cooling. Its thermal performance and cost were studied. It is found that total cost is similar to standard roofs and significant energy savings could be achieved. © 2009 Professor T. Nejat Veziroglu. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
