Unlike traditional PV panels, Marley SolarTile® integrates with the rest of the roof tiles, acting as a seamless part of the roof design. Compatible with any of the company’s roof tiles or slates, it is easy to install, doesn’t require specialist PV contractors and has industry leading wind and fire performance.
Kevin O’Neill from Marley adds: “Specifying a full roof system, rather than just the tiles, gives Denbighshire Council long term assurances about the performance of the roof. It also reduces risk by ensuring that all of the roofs have the same high levels of quality, compatibility and compliance with the latest standards and the council has a single point of liability. As well as reducing ongoing maintenance costs, it also offers tenant benefits by minimising the chances of roof problems, such as condensation and leaks.
“This pioneering scheme from Denbighshire Council demonstrates that it is possible to subtly incorporate solar technology into existing homes, in a cost-effective way, that can help tackle the growing issue of fuel poverty. Our solar roof tiles can be used on their own, or as part of our full roof system, on both new build and refurbishment projects – helping local authorities to meet forthcoming Part L carbon reduction targets and cut tenants’ energy bills by up to £260 per year.”
Councillor Rhys Thomas, Lead Member for Housing and Communities at Denbighshire County Council commented: “We are really proud to support such an innovative project that provides much needed modern sources of energy supply to families in our homes.”
Katrina Allen, Decarbonisation Housing Manager at Denbighshire Council, added: “This project is making a real differing in helping to make our council homes more energy efficient in times of rising fuel costs and is already giving residents more control over their electricity bills”.
