North Africa Solar Tiles

What are solar roof tiles?

Solar roof tiles replace regular roofing tiles with solar tiles, these are in effect solar panels that are able to use photovoltaic cells in order to convert sunlight into electricity. Marley solar roof tiles are uniquely effective in their use of solar tiles for roofs, with a host of features that make them more efficient than regular solar

Why do solar panels face north in South Africa?

For South Africa, solar power yields are higher when a pv-module faces north. Hence, the direction solar installation face, along with their angle, or tilt, at that orientation; are vital inputs in order to accurately calculate the solar power potential for a property.

Which rooftops generate the most solar power in South Africa?

In South Africa, and the southern hemisphere, rooftops that face the north sun perform best and generate the most energy. However, to accurately calculate solar power, the rooftop orientation and angle of the roof need to be combined to measure the solar output potential of the pv solution, at the property location.

Can a solar system be used in South Africa?

If you reside in South Africa, and your solar installation doesn’t face north, your property may still be suitable for generating solar energy. If your property faces east or west, a conventional pv-module can still generate some-what good yields.
