What are solar roof tiles?

Solar tiles, also referred to as solar shingles, are designed and created to resemble the original aesthetic, shape and design of original roof tiles. For many people traditional solar panels are a genuine barrier to wanting solar installed, therefore, solar roof tiles or so-called rackless solar systems can offer the perfect solution.

How much does a solar tile cost?

For example, a standard 4 kW solar tile solar system will cost between £10,000 and £18,000. Compare this to the average solar panel system of the same size which costs an average of £7,000 – almost 50% cheaper. Why are solar tiles much more expensive than panels?

Do solar roof tiles have a warranty?

Glass and steel roofing tiles make up solar roof tiles. While the latter is flexible and can be installed on rooftops of any size or shape, the former is strong and offers exposure to the sun, which produces energy. In addition, while solar panels have a 20-year warranty, solar roof tiles have a 25-year warranty.

Why are solar tiles more expensive at wholesale?

Solar tiles are themselves more expensive at wholesale. Solar tiles are much more involved in terms of labour time and costs e.g. installing individual tiles vs placing panels on top of the existing roof. The market is less competitive than for traditional solar panels.
