I think it looks nice, but the looks could be improved. Solar Walls and Solar Roofs...what a world my kids will live in.... Seems to be a no-brainer after I read this article.

Definitely limited to industrial or commercial buildings. Can't say it's a nice look, but I'm sure architects could get creative with it. I see it every day on the way to work and back.

I believe it was one of the earlier installations of the product.

Perhaps by breaking it into pieces, or changing its shape, or forming the building around it. -Matt the Engineer A good architect could make any material or technology seem natural and even beautiful in a building.

I'd seen one of these a few years ago on a refitted apartment building. I liked the idea but thought it was too ugly to suit most residential purposes (beyond refitting ugly 70s-era apartment buildings). It's obviously great for already-ugly buildings--industrial or big-box retail--but their photogallery shows some pretty interesting-looking buildings as well... particularly in Europe where they have a better tradition of design. Glad to see they're doing so well internationally. Interesting… I’d seen one of these a few years ago on a refitted apartment building.

I've seen the ads and have gone to the manufacturer sites but have not seen any independant reviews of their real usefulness While this seems to be a good system and something that should be mandated for all public buildings, does anyone have good data on the those small home solar thermal units for residential use?
