Abstract
This paper is dealing with the development of a shell-structured solar tile collector for the use of solar energy in buildings especially to make domestic hot water. The idea of the new type of collector based on its energetic usefulness, but also on the aesthetic considerations were seriously taking into consideration. During the modelling and simulation steps of the solar collector system the thermal efficiency issues were also studied. The temperature distribution on the collector surface was measured and validated by an infrared camera recording. The developed roof integrated tile elements can be recommended in the course of planning new building for the renovation of the existing buildings, as well.
