swimming pools. Around 1,000 guests visit the sport
centre every day. One noteworthy aspect: this is one
of the biggest roof­integrated solar power systems
anywhere in Europe.
“The architect M. Samaniego designed a smoothly­curved
solar roof. He has succeeded in combining
the functionality of a solar thermal system with architecture
that is aesthetically appealing. The modular
solar panels are perfectly integrated into the building
and no compromises were made in terms of design,
dimensions or shape”, explains Bernard Thissen of
Energie Solaire. The solar roof replaces the tiles and
slates of a conventional roof with a series of unglazed
collector panels connected by sealed joints. “Although
less efficient than glazed solar panels at high
temperatures, these panels have a lower capital cost
and are therefore the preferable choice for many applications”,
Thissen continues. The AS type absorber
used by Energie Solaire is made of two sheets of
