At the CH Group’s Highgrove Apartments development in Carlisle, roofing contractors John Fraser Roofing installed Marley’s complete roofing system using a combination of Edgemere Interlocking Concrete Slate and the Marley SolarTile®. The products were selected to meet the client’s objectives, which included a meaningful guarantee to protect the roof in the future and providing residents a reliable source of sustainable energy.
To ensure a high-quality, efficient solar installation, Marley’s technical team provided support throughout the project. This included visiting the site to guide the installation team through the SolarTile® process. It meant maintaining constant communication to ensure compliance and that the terms of the warranty were fulfilled.
Marley joined the project early on, helping to specify a complete roofing system that would meet both performance and sustainability targets.
Marley’s technical team used the SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) methodology to calculate the system requirements. Based on the 45° roof pitch, building orientation and expected occupant energy needs, they determined that 60 335Wp Marley SolarTile®’s would provide on-site renewable energy for the 16 apartments. This would make a significant contribution to the properties’ overall energy performance, supporting lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.
