14. Integration of energysystems in buildings(thermal and/or electrical) The solar gutter • Invisible from the ground level • Available in various sizes both for individual and collective habitations; • Can also be used on north oriented walls (the collector being oriented south into the drainpipe);

15. Integration of energysystems in buildings(thermal and/or electrical) The solar gutter • Rain water evacuationpreserved • Canalizations connecting the house to the collector hidden in the drainpipe evacuation. • An installation includes several serial connected modules; Each module is about one meter length and around ten centimeters in width (for individual houses)
