FAQS 4

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.

Can a tile roof handle solar panels?

If you have a tile roof and are considering solar energy, you might be wondering whether your roof can handle solar panels. Tile roofs—especially lightweight cement or clay tiles—are beautiful and durable but also delicate. Unlike asphalt shingles, they can crack easily under pressure, which makes solar installation a bit more challenging.

What are solar roof tiles?

Solar roof tiles, also known as solar slates or solar shingles, are made to look a lot like normal roof tiles, except they also contain photovoltaic (PV) cells and can generate electricity. Unlike traditional solar panels, which sit on top of your roof, solar roof tiles are your roof, i.e. they completely replace your old tiles.

Are solar roof tiles worth it?

Solar roof tiles are still capable of producing as much electricity as a traditional solar panel system, but to achieve this you may have to cover your entire roof with them - and this comes with a very hefty price tag.
