Photovolataic Roof Integrated Solutions

We recommend Solroof for integrated systems as it is the most cost effective due to using standard panels inside a waterproof frame, which is a very neat-looking solution at a fraction of the cost of other integrated systems. It benefits from the enlarged government grant for integrated systems, currently at £3,500 per kW. Some of this grant can also cover your normal felt and battening cost.

However, if there is a requirement for the roof to look as close as possible to tiles or slate, e.g. in National Parks or on listed buildings, we recommend Uni-Solar shingles or sunslates as the solution.

Solroof

Based on 130 Watt peak mono crystalline modules from Kyocera, the PV array is installed on battens and felt similar to concrete interlocking tiles. Each module is held in place with two stainless steel or BZP clips. When overlapped with adjacent modules a rain proof layer is formed for the ultimate P.V. roof - a weatherproof covering and electricity generator!

Installation is quick and simple taking about the same time as tiling a roof with conventional interlocking tiles.

Installed costs are around £5600/kWp or £630/m 2.

Sun-Slates

Where planning issues are critical, sun-slates are the closest resemblance of a natural slated roof and are installed similarly. PV area is 40mm x 32.7mm for each slate producing 12Wp, giving around 92Wp.m 2 of roof. Installed costs are around £10,000/kWp or £920/m 2.
