Solar photovoltaic tile installation video

Roof-integrated solar panel installation is a simple process with Marley SolarTile® - just secure the fixings, place the first tile, push-fit additional tiles and then attach final fixings and flashings.

Our patented solar power tiles provide electricity for your home or business, whilst blending in seamlessly with your roof. Each roof intergrated tile provides emmission-free electricity to offset rising energy bills and reduce your cabon footprint.

For battens of other sizes or sarked roofs, alternative kits are also available. Begin by installing the first solar roof panel in the array - this should be the one located on the bottom left. Work up each column, then move to the right. The tiles can be installed in either landscape or portrait orientation using the same method.

Solex solar roof slate tiles operate in the same way as conventional solar panels. Each roofing tile uses a collection of monocrystalline solar cells to convert photons from sunlight into DC electricity through the photovoltaic effect. As each tile is connected to the next, this brings the overall system voltage up to a level suitable for home use.

Panels can be connected in rows or columns. The junction box can be installed at the top or bottom of the solar tile. Wear gloves when handling flashings, as they may have sharp edges. Don't rush through the placement of flashings - ensure they are straight.

The entire process can take less than one hour per kilowatt peak, and our integrated solar roof system is provided with all components in colour-coded boxes to make the process even easier. There's no need for counter battens or additional undertrays.
