Solar roof tiles, an alternative to panels, produce electricity while offering a more contemporary look - there are many styles.
Made from the same materials as solar panels, they generate electricity directly from sunlight while providing the performance and appearance of standard roof tiles. The integrated photovoltaic (PV) tiles can be installed as part of a new build property or as a roof replacement, but not into an existing roof.
The installation of these tiles will generate electricity, saving you money on your fuel bills. A 4kW solar roof tile system could save you more than 50% of the household’s annual energy costs, based on an electricity bill of £600 a year. A 1kW system, the smallest option, could provide a saving closer to 15%. *2 How efficient are the tiles?
The integrated photovoltaic (PV) tiles can be installed as part of a new build property or as a roof replacement, but not into an existing roof. There are several styles available to choose from when it comes to solar tiles, so there should be something suitable for most properties. Smooth glass tiles have been designed for modern homes.
Solar roof tiles are an environmentally beneficial substitute for solar panels for powering all the electric appliances in your home. Additionally, they are qualified for the same government subsidies as solar panels (e.g. the Energy Company Obligation Scheme – ECO4). • Reduce energy costs.
That meant the TilePlus team had to improve the way the panels could produce electricity within that area. Normal photovoltaic cells are covered in horizontal metal thread, which conducts electricity around the panel and out through the cable in the rear.
