A tile 300 for transferring thermal energy and a method for its manufacture is described. The tile comprises a tile body 302 encapsulating a reservoir 104 arranged to hold a fluid, the reservoir comprises an inlet 110a through which the fluid can flow into the reservoir and an outlet 110b through which the fluid can flow out of the reservoir allowing thermal energy to be transferred to the fluid. The cross sectional area of the reservoir is larger than the cross sectional area of the inlet and outlet. The reservoir is defined by a plastic membrane defining a cavity that is encapsulated by a tile. The tile is preferably a roof tile with means to couple it to adjacent tiles both mechanically and fluidly. The tile is manufactured by providing a reservoir having an inlet and an outlet and encapsulating it in a liquid material that solidifies to form the tile body. |
