Technical FAQs 4

What are solar tiles?

Solar tiles are roofing materials that can produce energy directly from sunlight. Solar tiles are integrated into the roof itself and function as both a roofing substance and a source of energy, as opposed to conventional solar panels, which are mounted on top of an existing roof.

Are solar panels better than roof tiles?

Solar panels, that is solar panels on slate roofs, are still the better investment overall compared to solar roof tiles. Roof tiles are expensive because you are ultimately installing a new roof, and while they look great, they can be less efficient than solar panels.

How do solar tiles work?

Solar tiles are integrated into the roof itself and function as both a roofing substance and a source of energy, as opposed to conventional solar panels, which are mounted on top of an existing roof. Photovoltaic cells in solar tiles turn sunlight into direct current (DC) energy.

Are solar roof tiles right for You?

Solar roof tiles are ideal for those who want the benefits of renewable energy without the traditional look of solar panels. Benefits include, but are not limited to: Lower energy bills: Solar panels reduce reliance on grid electricity, significantly cutting monthly energy costs.
