Polymer concrete solar tiles
With fluctuations in fossil fuel prices and availability, as well as the negative effects on the environment, solar energy is increasingly becoming an important source of renewable energy. In cooperative venture between MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and private industry, a PCM (phase change material) was successfully encapsulated so as to enable building products to be developed which supplement up to 85% of the normal heat requirement of a building. Solar tile panels are simple building elements with no moving parts, maintenance free, and meet acceptable aesthetic standards of building appearance. They are a light weight, impermeable, waterproof, building material, with good strength-to-weight ratios and proper heat transmission rates. This paper summarizes the design procedure and the production process of these panels. It also presents an assessment of their superior performance as part of a passive solar system in the (MIT) Solar Building No. 5, where measurements over 15 years demonstrate direct gain solar space heating through the use of Sol-Ar-Tile architectural finish tiles.
