Video: Solarcentury's Integrated Solar Roofing Tiles
When it comes to bolting on a costly solar array up on your roof, you come across a laundry list of common concerns. For example, some people say they look ugly. Well, innovative solar companies like Solarcentury are listening, and they're making great progress in overcoming a few of the aesthetic complaints. They've created a set of solar roof tiles that actually sit flush with your slate or tiled roof, helping your solar project blend in from ground level.
Being integrated into you actual roof tiles, Solarcentury's tiles also solve the problem of water pooling around your panels and causing leaks. Plus, they've got to be more difficult to steal. The "UK's fastest growing energy company" has put together this helpful video to answer all of the typical questions asked by those interested in investing in a solar array: What's the installation like? Does it really save you any money? What about your home's resale value? If they can make electricity meters run backwards in chronically gloomy London, they must be doing something right.
