Solar Roof Tiles Made From Recycled Plastic

建筑物脱碳和向分散的清洁能源供应过渡、回收和循环塑料垃圾以及改善屋顶太阳能的可取性，都是实现我们的关键气候变化目标、减少对环境的影响并将全球变暖控制在1.5摄氏度以下的关键因素，这些都是现有方法存在的许多缺陷和限制，这些都阻碍了它们提供最佳解决方案。因此，我们创造了一种可以做到这一点的材料。混凝土、玻璃和铝是现存的三种对环境危害最大的材料，它们具有高碳足迹、温室气体排放、能源强度和化石燃料要求。它们也是用来制造传统屋顶瓦片和太阳能电池板的材料。太阳能电池板的发电能力也很有限，会增加建筑的碳含量，并损害其视觉美感。取代这些有害材料，最大限度地提高使用地点的清洁能源产量，是解决建筑和能源供应目前对地球造成的社会经济和环境影响的关键。我们创造了一些独特的东西，太阳能屋顶。我们的零玻璃太阳能瓷砖和配套的玛丽安娜瓷砖(以马里亚纳海沟命名)的混合体。它位于海平面以下7英里处，是世界上已知的海洋最深的点。令人担忧的是，这也是最近发现塑料垃圾堆积物的地方)。所有这些都是用从废流中取出的塑料制成的，否则会污染土地、空气和海洋。看起来像是传统的屋顶，但它远不止于此。它不仅仅是一款美观的太阳能屋顶产品。我们正在彻底改变一切。我们的新太阳能屋顶最大限度地提高了现场清洁能源的生产，改变了新建筑和现有建筑的运营和体现碳足迹，并消除了审美主观性和嵌板的折衷。Solecco太阳能屋顶对一个普通大小的家庭能做什么？/*每个屋顶产生的清洁能源比太阳能电池板多100%以上。*每年减少80%以上的运营碳足迹，每年节省超过2.4吨二氧化碳，并使物业的净能量为正数。*立即将屋顶的具体碳足迹减少85%以上，每个家庭减少超过10.5吨的二氧化碳排放。*这使传统家庭的碳足迹减少了20%以上。如果使用现代建筑方法建造，所创造的碳节省量更大。轻钢超过25%，木结构建筑超过35%。*用超过半吨的回收塑料取代超过3吨的混凝土、玻璃和铝，使屋顶重量减少超过70%。*将每户的能源强度降低超过22兆瓦。*每户节省超过8吨的具体化石燃料。价格相当，负担得起，总建筑成本平均上升3%至5%，很容易被房屋价值的增长所抵消。当计入标准抵押贷款时，每月增加20 GB可节省70 GB/月的能源。因此，在每周低于5 GB的时间里，家庭感受到了我们的太阳能屋顶的好处，地球也是如此。

Decarbonising buildings and transitioning to decentralised clean energy supply, recovering and recycling plastic waste, and improving the desirability of rooftop solar, are all essential in achieving our critical Climate Change targets, reducing our environmental impact and keeping Global Warming below 1.5°C.Existing approaches have many deficiencies and limitations that prevent them from delivering the optimum solution. So, we created one that does.Concrete, glass and aluminium are three of the most environmentally harmful materials in existence, with high carbon footprints, greenhouse gas emissions, energy intensity and fossil fuel requirements. They are also the very materials used to make conventional roof tiles and solar panels.Solar panels also have limited generation capacity, can increase the embodied carbon of the building, and compromise its visual appeal.Replacing these harmful materials and maximising clean energy production at point of use are key to tackling the socioeconomic and environmental impact buildings and energy supply currently have on the planet.We've created something unique, the Solecco Solar Roof. A blend of our zero-glass Solar Tiles and matching Mariana Tiles (which take their name from the Mariana Trench. At seven miles beneath the surface it's the deepest known point of the world's oceans. Alarmingly, this is also where deposits of plastic waste have recently been discovered). All made using plastic removed from the waste stream that would otherwise pollute the land, air and oceans.It looks like a traditional roof, but it's so much more than that. It's much more than an aesthetic solar roof product. We're completely changing what's possible.Our new Solar Roof maximises on-site clean energy production, transforms the operating and embodied carbon footprints of new and existing buildings, and removes the aesthetic subjectivity and compromise of panels.What can a Solecco Solar Roof do for an average sized home? /* Generate over 100% more clean energy per roof than solar panels.* Reduce the annual operating carbon footprint by over 80%, saving over 2.4 tonnes of CO2e per year, and enabling the property to be net energy positive.* Immediately reduce the embodied carbon footprint of the roof by over 85%, eliminating over 10.5 tonnes of CO2e per house.* This reduces the embodied carbon footprint of traditional homes by over 20%. If built using modern methods of construction, the carbon savings created are greater still. Over 25% for light-gauge steel, and over 35% for timber frame builds.* Replace over 3 tonnes of concrete, glass and aluminium with over half a tonne of recycled plastic, reducing the roof weight by over 70%.* Cut the energy intensity footprint of each home by over 22 megawatts.* Save over 8 tonnes of embodied fossil fuel use per house.Positioned to be price comparable and affordable, with an average 3-5% uplift in total build cost easily offset by the increase in the home's value. When factored into a standard mortgage, adding £20/month creates energy savings of £70/month. So, for under £5 a week the household feels the benefits of our Solar Roof, and so does the planet.
