Roofwise is an accredited installer for Solar Electric Roof Tiles
by Solarcentury, the UK’s leading solar energy company. Our qualified staff also install conventional solar panels.

Roofs are changing:

Legislation from Government and consumer demand is driving a change in roofing. Incorporating solar energy systems are becoming increasingly popular. Roofing contractors like Roofwise with the skills to install solar energy systems are in short supply.

How the Solar Tiles work.

1. Daylight hits the photovoltaic cells in the solar electric roof tiles and is converted to clean electricity. This process relies on daylight to work, not direct sunlight, so the tiles still produce electricity on cloudy days.

2. The electricity produced by the tiles flows along a cable in the loft to an inverter. The inverter converts the electricity from direct to alternating current, which is used in the house in exactly the same way as the electricity from the grid.

3. When the solar electric roof tiles are producing more power than is needed in the home, it is exported to the grid. The rates for payment vary between utility companies. At night, when the solar tiles are not producing electricity, power is imported from the grid in the normal way.

The solar installation needs very little maintenance. there are no moving parts and normal rainfall should keep the tiles clean.

How long do the tiles last?

The tiles have a power warranty of 25 years and are expected to provide generation for 50 years.

“It’s a great feeling to know that we’re generating our own power” says
David Merrill, Somerset

When David had the home re-valued he was pleased to find it had increased in value by 6% because of the tiles alone.
