Solar roof tiles are made from thin photovoltaic panels that cover or replace existing tiles on your roof. They absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. For example, homeowners will save on monthly bills and eventually recoup their initial investment by relying on this energy source instead of electricity.
they are a rapidly emerging BIPV technology designed to appear as typical asphalt shingles on residential roofs. They serve the dual purpose of protecting the roof structure while using solar energy to generate electricity. Solar roof tiles are easy to install and, like ordinary shingles, are built to withstand the weather elements.
Solar tile varieties include solar roof shingles, solar laminates, modules with integrated PV cells, and transparent laminates. These technologies are generally produced using crystalline or with thin-film solar cells. For more information on our products for solar roof tile suppliers, contractors, installers and EPCs, please consult the table below or contact a member of our solar team.
Our shingles can be used as the primary roofing material, or they can replace conventional shingles in specific areas of the existing roof.
Photovoltaic roof tiles have a sleeker, more attractive aesthetic. They are particularly suitable for use with concrete and asphalt roofs.
Photovoltaic roof tiles are weather-resistant and durable.
PV roof tiles are easier to maintain than solar panels.
Photovoltaic roof tiles have a higher return on investment if you are building a new roof.
Superior performance compared to similar BIPV offerings.
More electricity generation per square foot compared to conventional solar modules.
Serves dual purpose of roof protection and power generation.
Excellent aesthetics thanks to a sleek, hidden fastening system.
Can be integrated with a multitude of exterior wall structures and designs.
Standardized modular design facilitates and streamlines installation process
Integrated solar system improves the real estate value and energy independence
Aesthetic and effective cover to protect the building, utilising even the lowest winter sun
Easy and sustainable way of reducing direct energy costs and taxes
Photovoltaic roof tiles or shingles are usual roof tiles with integrated solar cells used for roof covering, together with standard roof tiles or shingles. They are tightly integrated into the roof. Many different forms are used - photovoltaic roof tiles, photovoltaic roof shingles, solar laminates, modules with integrated solar cells as roof covering elements, transparent laminates or modules on ligh weigt substrate for flat roofs etc. Solar (photovoltaic) roof tiles and shingles are probably the most interesting possibility how to integrate solar cells into the building's roof. Many different forms of solar roof tiles are available on the market. The most common solutions are photovoltaic roof tiles with amorphous solar cells. Roof tiles with mono- or polycrystalline solar cells can also be used together with the classical roof tiles of the same producer, in such case higher temperature and lower yield in case of limited air flow behind solar roof tiles must be considered during design phase. Roof shingles are produced with crystalline or with thin-film solar cells. Other possibilities are thin film solar cells on glass or metal substrate.
As roof-integrated modules usually laminates without frame are used. Special types are solar roof tiles or shingles. For details please visit solar roof-tiles section. As roof integrated modules other module types can also be used for example: flexible modules, transparent or semitransparent modules, thin film modules etc. Some advanced sollutions were presented in past few years.
We provide roofing solutions that can be applied as an addition to an existing roof or instead of any other roofing. Complete visual fusion with an object can be achieved with our module / cell / backsheet design combinations. Some applications require to achieve maximum solar glass light transmission together with the best energy yield, therefore cell arrangement and gaps between solar cells are adjusted for best effect to take place. These solar panels are engineered and manufactured to fit mounting solutions that already exist in a market or adapted to your developed fixation system.

Color adjustments. The material of high-transparency nano-membrane was selected and treated with special technology to achieve a dark blue surface, which forms a sharp contrast with the red brick wall. It also ensures high light transmittance and meets the demand for high power generation.
Hidden cell design. Another advantage of the blue appearance is that the color is basically the same as that of the crystalline silicon cell, and the appearance is more uniform. After special adjustments in the production process, the crystalline silicon cell is perfectly hidden, ensuring that it is consistent with the original roof material of the building. No color difference, uniform effect, the combination of photovoltaic modules and metal backplanes to create modern technology, so that the entire roof not only maintains the architectural style of traditional tiles, but also increases the visual beauty of the house.
Appearance and installation structure adjustments. Traditional PV modules have frames, which cannot achieve an integrated and consistent appearance with the roof. Therefore, the R&D and designers created a frameless modular unit for the first time in terms of structure and installation method, which makes the installation more efficient and saves half the time of installing ordinary roof tiles.
The appearence and simplicity of our solar roof design may be compared with that of such solar roofing solution competitors, like Tesla roof and others. To achieve most ergonomic look, most often satin solar glass for such BIPV modules are used.
