Estonia is a remarkable country. From its historic architecture to its forward-thinking culture, it’s a place where tradition and innovation coexist beautifully. Everywhere we went, we were met with warmth and generosity, making it easy to understand why Estonia has become a hub for some of Europe’s most advanced clean-energy companies.
The Roofit.Solar team were exceptional hosts throughout the celebration. Beyond honoring a decade of growth, the anniversary brought together partners from across Europe, each playing a role in pushing building-integrated solar forward. The conversations were candid, collaborative, and deeply energizing, reinforcing just how aligned this ecosystem is around quality, performance, and long-term impact.

One of the most meaningful moments of the trip was when ArcEdge received an award recognizing the Roofit.Solar installation located the furthest distance from Roofit’s headquarters in Estonia. For us, it symbolized more than geography, it represented how far integrated solar roofing has come, and how global the demand for truly seamless renewable solutions has become.
Looking forward, this trip reaffirmed why ArcEdge partnered with Roofit.Solar in the first place. We are incredibly excited about the future growth of Roofit.Solar in the United States and the new products currently in development, innovations that will continue to blur the line between roofing and energy generation.
We returned home inspired, energized, and more committed than ever to bringing world-class solar roofing solutions to the U.S. market.
Here’s to the next decade of innovation, and to building a smarter, more resilient future together.
Solar by Barge in Virginia
Delivered by barge and installed over open water, this Virginia island project features a 12 kW ArcEdge solar roof built with 95 integrated panels. Designed for marine conditions and complex access, it proves that solar can be both architectural and resilient.
A 12 kW Integrated Solar Roof on a Virginia Island Dock House
Some projects stand out not because they’re large, but because they push the boundaries of where high-performance solar can go.
This recent Virginia waterfront installation is a perfect example. The project features a 12 kW ArcEdge integrated solar roof system, consisting of 95 Roofit.Solar panels, installed on an over-water boat dock house located on a private island. With no road access, every component of the system was custom-crated and barged across open water before installation began.
Built for Access Challenges — and Harsh Environments
Reaching the site required careful coordination and planning. Panels were staged, crated, and transported by barge to ensure safe delivery without compromising finish or performance. Once on site, the system was installed directly onto the dock house structure, fully integrated into the metal roofing assembly.
Marine environments are among the most demanding conditions for any building system. Salt air, wind exposure, humidity, and direct sun all place long-term stress on materials. ArcEdge’s integrated solar roofing is engineered specifically to perform in these conditions, making it an ideal solution for coastal and over-water structures.
One System, Three Panel Sizes, Zero Compromises
This project utilized all three ArcEdge panel sizes, allowing the layout to be optimized around roof geometry, penetrations, and structural constraints without breaking visual continuity. The result is a clean, architectural roofline that produces energy efficiently while maintaining a uniform appearance.
System highlights include:
12 kW total system capacity
95 integrated solar panels
Three panel sizes for precise layout control
No rack-mounted hardware
Seamless metal roof and solar integration
By designing the solar as part of the roof — not an add-on — the system maintains consistent sightlines from every angle, including from the water.
Why Integrated Solar Matters for Waterfront Projects
Traditional rack-mounted solar systems often struggle in coastal settings due to wind uplift, corrosion risk, and visual impact. Integrated solar roofing addresses these challenges by embedding the solar directly into the roofing material itself.
For this island dock house, that meant:
Reduced wind exposure and uplift risk
Cleaner aesthetics suited to a high-end waterfront property
Fewer penetrations and simplified waterproofing
A durable, long-term solution designed for marine climates
Expanding What’s Possible with Solar Roofing
This Virginia project demonstrates what’s possible when solar is designed as a building material rather than an afterthought. From barge delivery to final install, the ArcEdge system proved that access limitations and unique site conditions don’t have to limit performance, durability, or design.
Whether it’s a private island, a coastal home, or a complex architectural roof, integrated solar opens the door to projects that traditional systems simply can’t serve.
If you’re exploring solar for a waterfront or hard-to-access property, ArcEdge is built for the challenge.
7.25 kW Solar Roof Underway in Maryland
ArcEdge is excited to share progress on our latest U.S. installation—a 7.25 kW integrated solar metal roof currently being installed on a home in Maryland. This project is a full reroof, replacing the homeowner’s aging asphalt with a premium, black standing-seam metal roof that also functions as the solar array.
Unlike traditional bolt-on solar systems, our integrated solar roof delivers clean energy generation without the clutter, penetrations, or added hardware. Each panel locks into the standing seam, creating a single, seamless roof surface that’s both energy-producing and architecturally clean.
Why This Maryland Reroof Is a Perfect Fit for Integrated Solar
Reroof + Solar in One Step: The homeowner needed a new roof and chose an elevated solution, premium metal plus built-in solar.
Efficient 7.25 kW System: Perfectly sized to offset a large portion of the home’s energy use.
Weather-Ready Construction: This region gets a mix of heavy rains, wind, and winter weather. Our integrated system is engineered to perform in all conditions.
What’s Next
Installation is underway now, with final completion and commissioning expected shortly. We’ll share full photos and performance updates once the system is live.

The First Roofit.Solar Roof in the U.S. Is Underway
The debut U.S. Roofit.Solar project is in progress, introducing a fully integrated solar metal roofing system that combines high-performance PV with timeless design.
After years of European success, Roofit.Solar’s award-winning integrated solar roofing technology has officially made its U.S. debut and ArcEdge is proud to be leading the charge.
This first installation marks a major step toward redefining how Americans think about solar energy. Rather than adding panels on top of a roof, this system is the roof — combining the durability and elegance of standing seam metal roofing with hidden solar integration that produces clean power for decades.
The installation is now underway, and we’ll be sharing exclusive progress photos over the coming days. Once complete, a full photo shoot will capture this milestone project in all its detail.
Stay tuned! The solar revolution is just getting started.

From the Alps to America: A New Era of Solar Roofing Begins
From the Italian Alps to American neighborhoods, a new era of solar roofing is here. ArcEdge is launching the first U.S. installations of integrated solar metal roofs — combining timeless design, durability, and hidden solar power in one seamless system.
We can’t get enough of this view — a stunning Italian villa recently fitted with a sleek, integrated solar roof by our partners at Roofit.Solar. Surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Alps, this home blends timeless architecture with cutting-edge solar technology, proving that sustainability and design excellence can coexist beautifully.
And now, the same innovation is crossing the Atlantic.
Here in the U.S., ArcEdge is gearing up for our first installations of integrated solar metal roofs — a milestone we’ve been working toward for months. These roofs don’t just generate clean power; they are the roof, combining the durability of standing-seam metal with the elegance of hidden solar integration.
The result? A roof that looks incredible, performs for decades, and helps homeowners achieve true energy independence.
Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing photos from our first U.S. projects very soon. ⚡️
