System Photonics Introduces Innovative Solar Roof Tiles

System Photonics today announces the availability in the UK of their solar roof tiles.

System Photonics has combined its ceramic industry know-how with photovoltaic technology to create a unique solar roof tile, a highly aesthetic and functional photovoltaic solution designed from the outset as a roof covering that can be integrated seamlessly into the building design, without compromises on the efficiency of the photovoltaic system.

“We are very excited both about the start of our operation and the availability of the Feed- in Tariff in the UK. The crucial thing about the feed-in tariff is the benefit goes back directly to the homeowner. We are confident that our superior solar roof tiles and comprehensive service and support programme will benefit our partners in the market and their customers who are the home owners”, said Reza Shaybani, Director of System Photonics UK.

“The issue with solar power has been a matter of aesthetics, homeowners have hesitated to install solar panels on their roofs due to the bulky, unsightly systems available on the market and their possible effect on the curb appeal of a property” said Gianluca Aiazzi, CEO of Solar Photonics.

“Our unique roof tile has a ceramic back sheet and is available in a wide range of colours. As well as being pleasing to they eye, System Photonics roof tiles are modular, tough, waterproof, easy to install and eco-friendly, since they are almost entirely made of recyclable materials”.

System Photonics solar roof tile features:

• Aesthetics –built on 3mm ceramic substrate, available in 13 permanent colours including slate grey and clay red.

• Solid durable construction - ultra-resistant thermally conductive ceramic dissipates heat from cells. Our Laminam ceramic is non-porous, weatherproof and recyclable. Tempered glass front.

• Efficiency - we use crystalline cells for high efficiency, equal to normal solar panels.

• Reliability - 10 year guarantee from defects, 25 year performance guarantee.

• Complete solution – solar roof tiles and complementary passive ceramic tiles complete with mounting accessories ensure architectural consistency.

• Fast installation – solar roof tiles can be installed rapidly on an existing roof, no extra precautions are needed for waterproofing, and our solar roof can be walked on.

• Recyclability – unlike solar panels, at the end of our product’s useful lifetime, all materials can be separated by heating and recycled.

• Company strength - the System group is the largest manufacturer of machinery for the ceramic tile industry, it also makes the machinery to manufacture System Photonics solar roof tiles.

• Standards - TÜV certified at full 110 PSF loading, IEC 61215, IEC 61730 security certified, protection class II, CE marked. UL and MSC pending.
