Redland’s position as one of the UK’s leading solar-renewable roofing suppliers will be confirmed at Ecobuild, where the company launches not one, but five new roof tile specific PV systems.

Each system has been developed to match one of Redland’s five most popular tile ranges for the house building market;
• Cambrian
• Mini Stonewold
• DuoPlain,
• 50 Double Roman
• Grovebury

This will make Redland the first company to offer developers a fully-integrated PV solution for slate, plain tile and profile tile roofs.

The launch is timed to take advantage of the Government’s new Feed In Tariffs, mentioned above, which are expected to stimulate the micro-renewable market in both the public and private new housing sectors.

Redland has been at the forefront of PV roofing technology since 1997, and this second generation of PV roof tiles is designed for ease of installation as well as performance. They are laid using the same laying patterns as the tiles they replace, making them suitable for retrofitting as well as new build projects.

Redland’s new roof-integrated PV tile systems offer both aesthetic and roof performance benefits over “above the roof” panel systems and, following extensive testing to ensure weather tightness, resistance to wind uplift and fire performance will be included in Redland’s 15 year Roof Guarantee, which covers the durability of the whole roof.
