AB  - Malaysia has potential to generate alternative renewable solar energy. Rubber tube was embedded
in asphalt pavement at a depth of 75 mm. Thermal behavior of solar heat was studied at different location in
asphalt pavement. Asphalt pavement top surface which is exposed to the direct sunlight, temperature above
the rubber tube, temperature of liquid (water) filled in rubber tube and temperature below the rubber tube were
the locations chosen to observe the thermal behavior and heat transformation from top to bottom. The
observation was carried out for 3 days in asphalt pavement and using thermodynamic first law to find the heat
efficiency. Study concludes that the maximum surface temperature reach to 59.5°C and water inside rubber tube
temperature reach to 54.7°C. In the result minimum 2.4% and maximum heat efficiency 22.7% produced by using
rubber tube the case might be change using other metals.
