Understand the finish
An integrated mounting system replaces roof covering in the panel area. It is different from a roof made up of individual solar tiles.
Your options / In-roof solar panelsIN-ROOF SOLAR
Solar that belongs in the roof.
In-roof panels sit within the roof covering for a more integrated appearance. They are worth considering alongside a new roof, extension or renovation.

A new roof. Solar built in.

Felt underlay is laid first, followed by treated battens, in-roof trays and solar panels. Flashing and concrete tiles complete the surrounding roof covering.

THE DESIGN STARTS HERE
What we consider.
Compare value fairly
A conventional panel in an in-roof system can provide a clean finish at a different cost from premium solar tiles. Compare actual specifications.
Design the roof details
Weatherproofing, ventilation, edges and transitions need careful planning. The mounting system must suit the roof and chosen panels.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOUR HOME?
Suitability comes before specification.
Often considered for
Reroofs, suitable new builds and renovations where a flush finish matters.
What affects the design and cost
Roof pitch, structure, covering, available layout and the compatible mounting system, including GSE where suitable.
How to compare quotationsYOUR QUESTIONS
A little more detail.
Are in-roof panels the same as solar tiles?
No. In-roof panels use larger solar modules integrated into a roof system. Solar tiles are smaller roof-integrated generating units with a different appearance and specification.
Can I keep some of my existing roof covering?
Sometimes. Condition, compatibility, layout and detailing determine whether reuse is sensible. This needs assessment.
