Abstract

The invention comprises a building material being a triangular shaped elongated hollow section or panel forming an elongated hollow triangular pyramid having three edges, sides or legs that form high strength structural wall components and structural roof components by connecting a series of the congruent triangular shaped elongated sections together by suitable watertight fastener means. The hollow section being translucent to sunlight on a least one side and having a mirrored surface or Fresnel lens on at least one side in order to concentrate sunlight into the hollow Interior of the section onto a strip of photovoltaic (PV) modules in order to generate DC electrical power or onto an a linear absorber capable of receiving and absorbing solar radiation in order to generate concentrating solar thermal power.
