Benefits of metal roofs

The roof and the generating surface

The solar roofs we supply use traditional standing-seam roofing techniques with photovoltaic cells built into steel panels. Active and matching passive panels are joined into a roof covering. Solar output, weather protection and the details around the panels need to be considered together. The installer follows the product’s instructions for the supporting assembly and electrical coordination.

Tried and Tested

Metal roofs have been trusted for over a century, with the traditional double-lock standing seam system long recognized as a hallmark of expert craftsmanship. Today, integrated solar panels make it faster and easier than ever for experienced roofers to install high-performance metal solar roofs. The solar roofing system we supply uses premium-quality metal panels finished with an advanced, eco-conscious coating for durability and weather resistance. The materials come from leading manufacturers known for producing long-lasting, high-performance roofing products trusted across all climates.

Built to Last

Designed to perform. High-end metal roofs are widely regarded as a lifetime roofing solution. When properly installed, they offer unmatched durability, resistant to rot, rust, splitting, and cracking. In fact, the typical life expectancy of a premium metal roof ranges from 50 to 100 years. To reflect that lasting performance, our quality metal panels come with up to a 50-year warranty, giving homeowners long-term peace of mind and confidence in their investment.

Fire Rated

Metal roofs are highly fire-resistant and offer excellent energy efficiency. Their reflective surface helps deflect sunlight rather than absorb it, keeping your home cooler during the summer months. The solar roofing system we supply is designed with safety at its core. It has achieved the highest fire protection classification (Class A), ensuring maximum protection for your property. All electrical components are securely concealed beneath the roof panels and are intended to be connected to the grid by qualified, certified electricians, ensuring both safety and compliance throughout the installation process.

Storm-Ready

Metal roofs are exceptionally durable and built to withstand the elements. Double seamed interlocked panels provide superior protection against wind, rain, snow, and frost, delivering a watertight, weather-resistant roofing system. When properly installed, there's no need to worry about leaks or moisture intrusion. These solar roofs have also been rigorously tested to withstand hail impacts at speeds of up to 103 mph, ensuring long-term reliability in even the toughest weather conditions.

Designed to Disappear

Metal roofs offer a unique aesthetic, defined by the clean, elegant lines of vertical panels. With integrated solar technology, there's no need to compromise on design. Sleek black solar modules blend into the roof, preserving the visual harmony of your home while delivering powerful, sustainable energy.

Plan the roof as a complete assembly

The roof covering is only one part of the assembly. The deck, underlayment, flashings and drainage details must work together. Roof pitch and the shapes of valleys, hips and dormers affect how the panels are laid out. Ask the roofing installer to explain the details before materials are ordered.

With an integrated solar metal roof, active panels generate electricity while matching passive panels complete the covering where solar is unsuitable. Roof geometry and shade determine the active area. A clear panel layout helps the electrician coordinate cable routes without interfering with weather protection.

The best time to compare an integrated roof with a conventional roof and separate solar array is before the roof specification is fixed. Compare both complete scopes, including roofing, electrical work and future access.
