SolTech Uses Glass Tiles to Heat Your Home

Finding different ways to create and use energy has become the number one priority of hundreds of companies throughout the world. This is because a market has erupted full of consumers who are craving clean energy alternatives. One of the oldest and most popular alternatives is the use of solar power. Companies continuously create new ways for solar power to be captured through heating up water or vacuum pipes. This is why SolTech's Energy System is worth telling you about because it uses neither of these concepts to create solar energy.

SolTech has managed to create a unique solar energy system that uses clean air to create energy. The concept is amazing for both it's design and the way it works. What you have is some attractive looking glass tiles that are able to heat your home while giving it a unique "ice-like" look. You end up with a solar panel system that is a lot more attractive to the eyes and eliminates the need for the bulky solar panels that many architects are using on many green friendly homes.

The transparent glass sits on a specially mad black nylon canvas matting. It is this matting that absorbs the heat coming down from the sun. The hear absorbed will allow hot air to begin circulating. It is this hot air that will make it's way through the stylish transparent glass tiles. As the hot air circulates through these tiles your energy is being created. The hot air is able to heat up your water and provide electricity to your home.

What is even cooler about this invention is that it is able to drastically cut your energy costs. One of the main reasons that it is able to do this is due to the systems ability to store excess energy/heat under the black layers of air under the canvas. You will not have to worry about using alternative forms of energy while the sun is not shining because your excess energy will always be stored away.

SolTech Energy is working hard to get their system to the market sometime within the air. They are still going through some rigorous test phases to ensure there are no issues at hand. So far the results have been so positive that the company has won several awards throughout the world for their innovative design and green thinking. This is a system that will be popping up everywhere over the next couple of years. Just remember that you learned about it here first.

Note:
It should be noted that this review comes from my first hand interaction with the product at a recent trade show.
