A building integrated modular thermal system is disclosed. A modular thermal unit comprises a plurality of metal battens having a longitudinal channel mounted horizontally onto a plurality of wooden battens, a thermal tubing containing liquid mounted on the longitudinal channels, a plurality of solar electric roof tiles mounted on the plurality of metal battens and connected in series to form a string, an inverter connected to each of the strings, an energy storage tank is connected between the thermal tubing, and a pump. The plurality of solar electric roof tiles generates DC electricity from solar energy and the inverter converts the DC electricity to AC electricity to feed to a utility grid. The plurality of metal battens collects the solar energy and converts into thermal energy through running the liquid which is extracted to the heat exchanger resulting in producing domestic hot water. The modular thermal unit and the thermal control system provide an easy installation with a removable modular structure.
A building integrated modular thermal system, comprising:
The building integrated modular thermal system of claim 6 wherein the thermal energy is extracted to the heat exchanger resulting in heating up the domestic water supply and providing domestic hot water.
The building integrated modular thermal system of claim 7 wherein as the thermal energy is extracted to the heat exchanger, the plurality of solar electric roof tiles is cooled thereby making the plurality of solar electric roof tiles operate at high efficiency in converting the solar energy to DC electricity.
A building thermal system, comprising:
A method of mounting a building integrated thermal electric hybrid roofing system, the method comprising the steps of:
The method of claim 16 wherein the plurality of solar roof tiles may be a building integrated photovoltaic roof tile having a solar module glued to an eternit tile.
