Dear homeowner
Dear homeowner
Solfit understands investing in a New Roof with integrated Solar is a big decision…
Solfit`s dedicated UK-based team has been developing and refining the SolFit system specifically to work with UK roofs for over 15 years, It has been
long journey from humble beginnings as solar engineers working in all weathers to becoming one of the most respected in-roof panel manufacturer
in the country. Solfit built this reputation by focusing on the demands and needs of customers and ensuring they are always supportive to anyone
who puts their trust in their company, when you choose SolFit you aren’t dealing with a faceless Chinese conglomerate, you are supporting a UK-based
manufacturing business.
Installation
For new roofs or extensions to existing buildings, new regulations require that all tiles are fixed with nails or clips. This makes the task of fitting an above-roof solar system afterwards very difficult. Tiles may need to be broken to access the roof structure below and attach fixing brackets. Replacing removed tiles in accordance with the roof fixing specification is likely to require an adhesive bond between the replaced tile and the surrounding ones.
By contrast, roof integrated solar panels can be installed easily in a new roof. Solar specialists can fix the panels and flashings before the roofing contractors fix the roof covering around them.
When installing to an existing roof, integrated solar is often seen as more work than above-roof systems. However, the task of weathering around numerous fixing hooks can be time consuming. Removing a patch of tiles or slates does not take much longer, and provides spare roof tiles that are a perfect match for any future roof repairs.
Solfit’s domestic in roof product is proving to be the leading solution for the new house build market.
Wheeldon Homes has made the decision to switch to Solfit after installation difficulties with their previous in-roof panel manufacturer.
This is the second new build site on which Wheeldon have specified Solfit’s domestic product.
“The ease at which this system can be installed in comparison to the rest of the market is making Solfit a powerful product when speed, quality and volume are the primary considerations.”
The new contracts are part of a larger push towards a tailored service for house builders between Edmundson and Solfit. We have been working closely with a number of national housebuilders to understand the specific requirements related to the new build industry, and offer a tailored service which overcomes a lot of the usual challenges faced by house building companies.
GSE and Viridian have historically held the market share when it comes to in-roof systems for the new build market, but the loyal and rapidly growing following of Solfit installers is shifting the balance. The UK based In-roof company looks set to topple the balance of power with it’s simple and patented design.
