Article Text:
SolarDuct is a new line of rooftop solar air heating and PV/thermal systems based on Conserval's SolarWall system.  This modular technology has been specifically engineered for roof settings where a traditional wall mounted system is not feasible.

Like SolarWall technology, SolarDuct is designed to reduce onsite energy costs by heating ventillation air before it enters air handling units.  The patented system uses an all-metal collector panel and is designed for flat-roofed buildings in commercial, industrial and institutional sectors.  The SolarDuct product can also be used for PV/thermal cogeneration to reduce the ROI timeframe on a PV system.  With a SolarDuct PV/T system, all metal SolarWall panels double as a racking system, while also removing heat from the back of PV modules and using it to offset a building's heating load.
