Pv Roof Tiles

Metrotile photovoltaics enable your rooftop to harness energy from natural light.

Pv roof tiles.

Due to the integrated smart electronics shading issues are a problem of the past. Imerys pv modules are installed by roofing contractors at the same time as the roof tiles ensuring complete synergy between the two. An entire roof is installed with some of the tiles having 17 w monocrystalline solar cells embedded. That s right solar tiles work just like solar panels i e.

The tiles are screwed to battens on the roof plywood level. Design function and form. Stronger than standard roofing tiles. The tiles take heat and energy from the sun and convert them into electricity using the photovoltaic process.

Security system security is becoming an increasing issue in mainland europe where on roof systems are quickly and easily removed from roofs however the imerys pv module is directly secured into the roof with hidden fixings reducing the risk of theft. Solar shingles are thin photovoltaic pv sheets that can replace or lay on top of existing roof shingles. Solar tiles also known as solar shingles or solar slates are for people who want a solar powered home without anybody noticing. Suntegra photovoltaic shingles are based on the same solar technology that is used for standard solar panels.

Metrotile lightweight roofing has a very flexible portfolio of photovoltaics pvs both incorporated into tiles or retro fitted onto the existing rooftop covering all the options open to the specifier or end user. You may also hear them referred to as solar shingles or rackless solar systems as they don t have the mounting frames in traditional rooftop installations. Whether for a residential home or an industrial or commercial project our photovoltaic roof tiles are easy to install and can generate extensive energy for the premises. Desol power tiles also has a solar roof but uses individual polypropylene tiles similar in shape to traditional roofing tiles.

Photovoltaic cells converting sunlight into electricity but they re made to look just like traditional roof tiles. When the main barrier to investing in solar is appearance pv tiles can be the perfect solution.

Solar tiles are small pv modules designed to resemble regular roofing. Using next generation power optimisation and monitoring technologies energy yields are substantially higher than that of conventional pv panels. The technology also known as solar roof tiles was pioneered by dow chemical and further innovated by tesla. Silicon solar pv cells.

Each shingle includes 16 solar cells with a power output of 64 to 67 watts. Solar roof replaces your existing roof and brings it to life with beautiful solar tiles that can power your home for decades with the energy you produce.
