Photovoltaic Solar Tiles – Revolutionary Roofing Integration
Aesthetic Residential Roofing Revolution
私たちの photovoltaic solar tiles transform traditional roofing concepts by seamlessly integrating renewable energy generation into architectural roofing materials. Designed as direct replacements for conventional clay tiles, slate, and shingles, these innovative 630×480mm tiles deliver 17.3% efficiency while maintaining the classic residential aesthetics that homeowners and architects demand.
Architectural Roofing Integration
True Tile Replacement Technology Unlike bulky rooftop panels, our photovoltaic tiles function as actual roofing materials:
- Direct Tile Substitution: Replaces traditional clay tiles, slate, or composite shingles with energy-generating alternatives
- Weatherproofing Integration: Provides complete roof weather barrier while generating electricity
- Architectural Continuity: Maintains traditional roofing appearance from street-level viewing
- Heritage Building Compatibility: Enables solar integration in historic districts with aesthetic restrictions
Customizable Aesthetic Options
- Color Variations: Black, red, and green options match traditional roofing material aesthetics
- Custom Sizing: 630×480mm standard with customizable dimensions for unique architectural requirements
- Texture Matching: Surface treatments replicate clay tile, slate, or shake shingle appearances
- Pattern Flexibility: Individual tile installation allows complex roof geometries and design patterns
Lightweight Residential Engineering
Optimized Structural Performance
- Minimal Roof Loading: 7.5kg per tile significantly lighter than traditional clay or slate tiles
- Reduced Structural Requirements: Lower dead load often eliminates need for roof reinforcement
- Easy Handling: Individual tile weight enables single-person installation without mechanical lifting
