The Monier SOLARtile helps raise the roof’s green credentials without sacrificing aesthetics. It’s perfect where the client wants the benefits of solar power without the visual intrusion of a conventional photovoltaic roof array. Designed to work in seamlessly with Monier flat-profiled concrete roof tiles, SOLARtiles deliver several advantages, including:
- Being a modular tile-based system, they optimise solar energy production, particularly on small roof areas.
- A SOLARtile is lighter than a concrete roof tile, so it requires no strengthening of the roof trusses.
- Unlike traditional bolted-on PV arrays, SOLARtiles don’t affect wind flow around the roof, making wind loadings a thing of the past.
- There is no need to cut or drill through the existing roof to install the SOLARtile.
Launched in June 2012, the Monier Solartile has already been nominated for a number of ‘best new sustainability product’ awards.
