ABSTRACT:
Paving and solar energy utilization systems and methods disclosed herein include a fluid carrying conduit embedded in paving such as in a roadway or roofing exposed to solar energy. Fluid circulated through the conduit is heated by the paving and cools the paving thereby prolonging its useful life and reducing heat transmission through the roofing to the interior of the building. Large amounts of useable energy may be provided by a solar collector forming part of and generally concealed within structures having other useful functions such as a roadway, roofing and so forth. Additionally, the fluid carrying conduit of such a collector may alternatively carry a heated fluid as is customary for snow and ice removal. Specific examples of solar systems and methods of this type include heating swimming pool water by use of a collector forming part of a parking lot and/or roofing paving, and generating electric power by use of a collector forming part of a highway roadway, for example.
