The PV Slate is a small solar panel that looks like a row of 4 natural slates. They are compatible with traditional slates, so can be fitted into a standard roof construction. PV Slates are primarily made of toughened glass and marine grade aluminium. They are made in a similar way to conventional solar panels and have an expected life far longer than their 25 year warranty period. The finished look is amazing and becomes one of the main talking points of our customers’ properties. As PV Slates have been installed in conservation areas and on listed buildings, they are ideal for adding solar PV to an older property.
The Infinity solar roof is an almost seamless glass roof with exceptional power generation capacity. Solar panels are mounted within a structural framing system and the roof is finished with high quality welded aluminium flashings that are powder coated for colour matching. The result is a sleek glass and aluminium roof covering with huge solar power output and a 25 year warranty.
