Special color steel tiles for photovoltaic panels without rails

Can PV slate be used on a roof?

As PV Slate is an electrical product, there needs to be a border of two natural slates around the edges of the roof and any roof windows. We can make passive "infill" PV Slates to complete the surround for a perfect finish and a roof that no one would believe was solar.

Can a PV substructure be adapted to a flat roof?

Of course, this also applies to our flat roof solutions, which enable a PV substructure optimally adapted to the respective flat roof for flat roofs with gravel, bitumen/foil as well as for green roofs. In addition, mounting systems for the PV substructure on façades as well as our in-roof system are also available to you.

How do photovoltaic modules work?

The photovoltaic modules are mounted directly on the roof battens without roof hooks and rails. This literally replaces a regular roof covering. Our in-roof system meets the same waterproofing requirements as roof tiles - as confirmed by analogous tests conducted by the Sursee Test and Research Institute.

Can a novotegra roof be installed on a pitched roof?

No matter if pitched roof with tiles, corrugated eternit/sandwisch, trapezoidal metal, seamed metal or any other roof covering: the mounting systems from novotegra offer an easy-to-install, safe and reliable PV substructure for practically any roof.

What should I consider when buying solar slate & tiles?

When purchasing solar slates or tiles, consider the warranty length offered and the materials used. Some products only offer 10 year warranties, which would not really be acceptable for any other sort of roofing product. Products which rely on plastics, adhesives or flexible solar cells will all have a reduced life-expectancy.

Are PV slates weatherproof?

Manufactured in Wales, PV Slates have been designed and independently tested to withstand the extremes of the UK’s weather, made of toughened glass, marine grade aluminium and stainless steel. Every PV Slate comes with a 25 year warranty on product, solar performance and weatherproofing.
