Solar Roof Tiles Made From Recycled Plastic

使建筑物脱碳，向分散的清洁能源供应过渡，回收和循环利用塑料废物，以及提高屋顶太阳能的吸引力，对于实现我们关键的气候变化目标，减少对环境的影响，并将全球变暖控制在1.5°C以下，都是至关重要的。现有的方法有许多缺陷和限制，使它们无法提供最优的解决方案。所以，我们创建了一个。混凝土、玻璃和铝是现有三种对环境最有害的材料，它们的碳足迹、温室气体排放、能源强度和化石燃料需求都很高。它们也是制作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有限，会增加建筑物的碳含量，并损害其视觉吸引力。替代这些有害材料并在使用点最大化清洁能源生产是解决当前建筑和能源供应对地球的社会经济和环境影响的关键。我们创造了独特的东西，Solecco太阳能屋顶。混合了我们的零玻璃太阳能瓷砖和匹配的马里亚纳瓷砖（他们的名字来自马里亚纳海沟）。在海面以下7英里处是世界海洋已知的最深点。令人担忧的是，这也是最近发现塑料垃圾堆积的地方)。所有这些都是用从废物流中取出的塑料制成的，否则这些塑料会污染土地、空气和海洋。它看起来像一个传统的屋顶，但它远不止于此。它不仅仅是一个美观的太阳能屋顶产品。我们正在彻底改变可能性。我们的新太阳能屋顶最大限度地提高了现场清洁能源生产，改变了新建和现有建筑的运营和隐含的碳足迹，并消除了审美主观性和面板的妥协。Solecco太阳能屋顶能为一个中等大小的家庭做什么？/*每个屋顶产生的清洁能源比太阳能电池板多100%以上。*每年减少超过80%的营运碳足迹，每年节省超过2.4公吨的二氧化碳当量，使物业成为净能源效益。*立即减少屋顶的碳足迹超过85%，每间房屋减少超过10.5公吨二氧化碳当量。*这将使传统住宅的碳足迹减少20%以上。如果使用现代建筑方法建造，所节省的碳排放量会更大。轻钢建筑超过25%，木结构建筑超过35%。*用超过半公吨的再生塑胶取代超过3公吨的混凝土、玻璃及铝，令屋顶重量减轻超过70%。*减少每个家庭超过22兆瓦的能源强度足迹。*每间房屋可节省超过8公吨的矿物燃料使用量。定位于价格相当且价格合理，平均3-5%的总建造成本提升很容易被房屋价值的增长所抵消。考虑到标准抵押贷款，每月增加20英镑可以节省70英镑的能源。因此，每周花费不到5英镑，这家人就能感受到太阳能屋顶的好处，地球也能感受到。

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.
