A UK-based sustainable product design consultancy, has unveiled an inflatable solar collector (called ‘SolarStore’). This reportedly harnesses the sun’s natural energy to warm domestic water and “can heat up to three full tanks of water per day at temperatures close to 80°C.” and thus could provide a cheap source of domestic hot water. The designers anticipate that the product could be beneficial in developing countries, particularly those in which reliable electricity supply is a problem. It works by allowing sunlight to pass through a clear outer layer to a black inner layer which holds the water. By a process of heat transfer, the water is then heated up.
