New types of solar energy systems and smallwind turbines efficient in energy conversion andof advanced aesthetics are presented. These systemshave been developed in Physics Departmentof University of Patras and aim to an improvedintegration of RES on buildings. Newsolar water heaters of the Integrated CollectorStorage (ICS) type, thermal colored collectors,hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) solar systems,Fresnel lenses with linear multifanctionalabsorbers, and small wind turbines are consideredto be applied as satisfactory solutions forthe built and urban environment. In this paperenergy, cost and aesthetic aspects for the abovesystems are included and discussed.
