Metrotile Lightweight Roofing has a very flexible portfolio of Photovoltaics (PVs), both incorporated into tiles or retro-fitted onto the existing rooftop, covering all the options open to the specifier or end user. Whether for a residential home or an industrial or commercial project, our photovoltaic roof tiles are easy to install and can generate extensive energy for the premises.
Save money on energy bills with the opportunity for making money back from feed-in tariffs. Reduce your carbon footprint and make your roof an even more sustainable option. You will also be able to install the PV tiles to a low pitch roof, helping to avoid planning restrictions. We can provide the solution for all installations ranging from the individual home, large social housing projects through to schools, and commercial and industrial buildings of all shapes and sizes.
