This dwelling is located in a unique natural environment in the French Pyrenees (Gaillagos, France). When designing this family home, the main focus of the owners was to reduce their energy consumption without giving up to an elegant traditional slate roof. That is why they decided to get THERMOSLATE® installed: it is a completely invisible solar roof that gets repaid from day one. Only 4 collectors installed on a total surface of 5m2 were enough to cover more than 60% of their hot water needs (250 liters per day). Regarding their energy consumption, this family got to save up to 2,854.2 kWh every year!
Besides the energy savings, this solar roofing gets to reduce the environmental impact by avoiding the emission of more than 1,900 kg of CO2 per year. This solar thermal system was installed and fully integrated into the CUPA 10 Excellence natural slate roof (format 32 x 22 and 3.75 mm thick), ensuring a perfect look without unsightly panels standing out.
