The results in Section 3 have shown marked differences in the thermal response of a roof underneath a solar panel compared to that of an exposed roof. However, to determine the potential HVAC energy savings associated with solar PV panels the roof heat flux into the air conditioned space (or roof cooling load) is the most relevant variable.

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.
Much of the existing literature emphasizes the integration of PV systems with green roofs, leading to a notable gap in thorough studies that address the fusion of plants and PV facades. This research gap becomes more pronounced when considering the intricate classifications of BIPV facades.
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.
Our mounting system is designed to withstand high wind and heavy rainfall. The performance of our solar tiles is on par with high efficiency solar panels, with an average generation capacity of 170 Wp / sqm. However, this will depend on the roof layout.
Solex solar tiles provide generation value greater than most solar panel systems and due to their smaller size, greater or complete roof coverage can be achieved, giving even more electricity generation. Solex solar shingles are designed to cover the whole roof, from edge to edge and eaves to ridge.
