SOLROOF photovoltaic roof, integrated 2-in-1 solution

Building a new roof is a useful time to include electricity generation in the plan. SOLROOF combines both tasks within one surface: part of the covering generates solar electricity, while the whole roof retains a shared panel pattern. The solution lets technical design and appearance be planned together, from the initial roof layout to its final finishing details.

Active FIT VOLT elements form part of the integrated covering. The roof therefore shelters the building while using solar radiation to generate electricity. This combination is particularly relevant to new construction and the complete replacement of an old roof covering. Both functions can be included in the same technical concept. The position of the active area, its connections to the other panels and the edge details can be designed from the outset. The energy installation becomes a considered part of the home’s architecture.

Electricity-generating panels are combined with inactive FIT panels that complete the covering. This allows the surface to be laid out according to roof geometry and installation requirements. Not every part of the slope has to perform the same task for the roof to retain a similar character. Regular lines help maintain a calm appearance around windows, edges and changes in direction. This is useful where a large roof slope is prominent from the garden or street: the technical division need not dominate the building’s composition. A similar rhythm also helps on a house with an attached garage. Both roofs can form a visual whole even when their proportions of active elements differ.

Electricity from the photovoltaic section can supply household appliances after conversion by the appropriate installation equipment. On-site generation can then meet part of current demand. The benefit depends on sunlight, roof orientation and consumption patterns. Monitoring system operation helps identify production periods and align selected activities with them. With a suitable configuration, the installation can be connected to other home energy solutions. The roof thus becomes an active part of how the home is used.

The integrated system provides coordinated components for the roof and electrical installation. Its modular construction supports a repeatable installation method, while matching flashings complete the roof surface. This suits projects where practical performance and carefully finished eaves or ridges are both important. Active areas, the remaining covering and installation routes can be considered at the planning stage. Linking these stages helps produce a roof suited to the building form and the intended electricity-generating function.
