‘Ancient Roman’ Solar Roof Tiles Power Pompeii Villa
Ancient Roman ruins at Pompeii have been fitted with invisible solar panels, in a move that will contribute to the archaeological site’s sustainability efforts and cut costs. The innovative panels, which blend into the background by imitating traditional materials, were installed on the House of Cerere, on a thermopolium — a Roman snack bar — and on the House of the Vettii, which recently reopened following 20 years of restoration work.
“They look exactly like the terracotta tiles used by the Romans, but they produce the electricity that we need to light the frescoes,” said Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of the archaeological park of Pompeii, in a press release.
Each year, 3.5 million tourists explore the vast ruins of the ancient Roman city, which was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. But due to Pompeii’s size, energy bills are expensive and conventional methods of providing power across the site can threaten its appearance.
“Pompeii is an ancient city which in some spots is fully preserved,” Zuchtriegel said. “Since we needed an extensive lighting system, we could either keep consuming energy, leaving poles and cables around and disfiguring the landscape, or choose to respect it and save millions of euros.” The new technology will help the archaeological site to cut energy bills and make it more enjoyable, he added.
The invisible solar panels — or “traditional PV tiles” as they are technically known — were created by the Italian company Dyaqua. They can be designed to appear like stone, wood, concrete or brick, and hidden on walls, floors and roofs, according to Elisabetta Quagliato, whose family owns Dyaqua, in the press statement.
“We are an archaeological site but we also want to be a real-life lab for sustainability and the valorization of intangible heritage,” Zuchtriegel said. “Our initiative is not merely symbolic. Through the million tourists who visit us every year, we want to send a message to the world: cultural heritage can be managed differently and in a more sustainable way.”
Other locations in Italy using the invisible solar technology are the commune of Vicoforte in Italy and, soon, Rome’s contemporary art museum Maxxi. Public buildings in Evora, Portugal, and Split, Croatia will also install the panels, according to the press statement.
Pompeii’s recent use of these panels is just the beginning, Zuchtriegel said. “From now on, we will be taking this solution into account for all future renovation and restoration projects.”

So I’m driving to work and it’s 101*F and I’m viciously daydreaming about every goddamn flat-roofed building in the city having a functioning green roof, keeping the buildings a little cooler and allowing bugs and birds to live all over the city. Every parking lot has elevated solar panels, making electricity while shading cars and pedestrians. I want it I want it I want it!!
#climate action#solar punk#a girl can dream#if I’d won the power ball this is something I would’ve done#just given people money to cover the city in green roofs#green roof#climate change

Could you imagine how amazing it would be if we were allowed to use even a fraction of the police and military budget for infrastructure environmental and social welfare purposes
#sorry I’m gonna explode if I think about it too much I need to go watch some cat videos or smth#I’m just so angry all the time with no where to release it#.txt#social stuff#environmental issues#and driving through all these wealthy neighborhoods with no tree and no solar panels have made it worse#you people absolutely have the money to switch to Solar your roofs are literally full sunlight#fuck you#and even if ppl didn’t have the money AND EVEN IF THEY DO that should be something that is covered by the hover#*government#or companies#if you are building somewhere without any trees it should be MANDATORY to put solar panels on the roofs

The Benefits Of A Flat Roof- Roof Solar
For good reason, flat roofs are a popular choice for commercial structures. They provide a number of advantages that other roofing systems may not. In this blog, we will go through the top five advantages of having a flat roof on your commercial building.
A flat roof is a type of roof that has a very low slope or no slope at all, which makes it appear almost flat. Unlike traditional pitched roofs, which have a steep angle to allow rainwater to flow off easily, flat roofs have a slight pitch to ensure water drainage.
Flat roofs are commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings, but they are also becoming more popular in residential buildings as well. They are typically constructed using materials such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), TPO (thermoplastic olefin), or modified bitumen.
One of the advantages of a flat roof is that it offers additional space that can be used for outdoor activities such as gardening, sunbathing, or setting up a rooftop deck. Flat roofs are also more cost-effective to install than pitched roofs since they require fewer materials and less labor. However, proper maintenance and regular inspection are important to ensure that the roof remains in good condition and to prevent water damage or leaks.
There are several benefits to having a flat roof, including:
Cost-effective: Flat roofs are typically less expensive to install than pitched roofs because they require fewer materials and less labor.
Extra space: Flat roofs offer additional space that can be used for outdoor activities such as gardening, sunbathing, or even setting up a rooftop deck.
Energy efficient: Flat roofs can help reduce heating and cooling costs by providing a surface that reflects heat away from the building.
Easy maintenance: Flat roofs are easier to maintain than pitched roofs since there are no slopes or angles to navigate.
Easy access: Flat roofs provide easy access to HVAC systems, making maintenance and repair work more convenient.
Versatility: Flat roofs can be constructed with a variety of materials, including EPDM, PVC, TPO, and modified bitumen, making them a versatile option for different types of buildings and climates.
Modern aesthetic: Flat roofs have a modern, streamlined look that is popular with architects and designers, and can enhance the overall aesthetic of a building.
Cost-effective
Flat roofs are often less expensive than other types of roofing. The supplies and installation method are simpler and require less labor, which might save you money in the long term.
Simple to maintain
Flat roofs are simple to care for and check. They are conveniently accessible, making it simple to check for leaks or damage. By detecting difficulties early, you can save time and money in the long term.
Versatility
Flat roofs can be utilized for a variety of purposes, such as expanding your business's outdoor space or putting solar panels. This might generate more revenue for your company or help you save money on energy expenditures.
Durability
Flat roofs are noted for their extended lifespan and durability. They are often composed of weather-resistant materials that can withstand adverse weather conditions. This makes them an excellent choice for locations prone to severe weather.
Efficient use of energy
Flat roofs are more energy efficient than other roofing systems because they absorb less heat, which can reduce your energy expenditures. Furthermore, many flat roofs may be insulated, making them even more energy efficient.
Flat roofs are a great alternative for a commercial building manager to think about. They are inexpensive, simple to maintain, versatile, long-lasting, and energy efficient.

Is Commercial Roof Coating Suitable For Your Building- Roof Solar
Commercial roofs may appear similar from afar, but there are various essential options to consider. Which one is best for your building is determined by criteria such as the environment, predicted wear levels, whether or not the roof is intended to assist keep the structure cool, money, and other considerations.
This essay will go through the best coating alternatives for flat business roofs. Coatings keep leaks at bay by sealing the roof. The other advantages they bring are dependent on the type of coating used.
Whether a commercial roof coating is right for your building depends on a variety of factors, including the condition of your current roof, your budget, and your long-term goals for the building. Here are some reasons why a commercial roof coating might be a good option for your building:
Extends the life of your roof: A commercial roof coating can help extend the life of your existing roof by protecting it from UV rays, weather damage, and other environmental factors.
Energy efficiency: Many roof coatings are designed to reflect sunlight, which can help keep your building cooler in the summer months, reducing your energy costs.
Cost-effective: Applying a roof coating can be less expensive than a full roof replacement, making it a cost-effective option for buildings with a sound roof structure that just need a little extra protection.
Sustainable: Roof coatings are a sustainable option since they reduce the need for roof replacements and can help reduce energy consumption.
Improved aesthetics: Many roof coatings come in a variety of colors and can improve the overall appearance of your building.
Coatings Made of Acrylic
These are now utilized on a wide range of roofing systems, including single-ply membranes and metal roofs. They offer excellent resistance to solar radiation and hail while still retaining the flexibility required to deal with the instability of most roof membranes. Furthermore, when there is direct sunlight and the ambient temperature is above 85 degrees, they can reduce the temperature of a structure by 20 degrees.
Coatings Made of Silicone
These are constructed of 100% silicone and are quite stretchy. Silicone coatings offer excellent adhesion and stay flexible for many years. The capacity of these coatings to endure ponding water without breaking down and springing leaks has increased their use. However, cost, application procedures, and the possibility of time-related surface dulling prevent them from being employed in situations where ponding tolerance is not required.
Coatings Made of Polyurethane
Polyurethane coatings were designed to be used on sprayed-in-place foam membranes, but they are now employed in a wide range of roofing systems. They perform best in terms of foot traffic and impact resistance. These coatings are typically applied in two forms on the same roof. The "aromatic" coating increases durability in the lower layer. Meanwhile, the "aliphatic" coating provides UV stability, dirt resistance, and long-lasting color in the upper layer.
Asphaltic Rubber Membrane System with Fluid Application
This has gained popularity as a result of labor shortages. It is used to extend the life of existing roofs rather than build new ones, and it can also be used to repair them. It blends rubber's flexibility with asphalt's waterproofing and waterproofing properties. When dried, the coating thickness might range between 20 and 200 mils. It dries fast, leaving a flawless covering that gives immediate protection.

I think I'm finished with the house, lol. I may not know how to landscape worth anything but I can throw 'areas' in there if the lot's big enough.
Brian's got his greenhouse, John's got his meditation place, there's the pool; Were!John's hammock. I put a hot springs in the back corner and a rock pond on the other. Did it need to be there? Not really, but it looks nice.
#ts4#the sims 4#sims 4#simblr#i was gonna take pics of the house but SOMEONE decided they should bang in the sunroom#it's a lot of house but i feel good about how it's streamlined#and the way it looks! it looks like it should be a modern-ish house on the windenburg island#i put so many solar panels on the roof it has driven the payment of the house by 66% and the surlpus is INSANE
