Integrated Solar Roofing
Integrated, or in-roof, solar allows photovoltaic panels to sit within the roof covering rather than mounted over the top of it, for a cleaner, more streamlined finish. As roofing contractors, The Roofers Blackpool install the complete in-roof roofing system (battens, trays, flashing and panels) and feed the cables into the building. A trusted specialist solar subcontractor then completes the electrical work, commissioning and MCS certification. It is best suited to new roofs and re-roofs, where the roofing and solar can be planned together from the outset.
As roofing contractors, our focus is making sure the in-roof system is correctly incorporated into the roof covering, with careful attention to setting out, weathering, ventilation and the surrounding slate or tile details. By working with the same specialist solar contractor on our integrated solar projects, the roofing layout, panel system and electrical requirements are coordinated from the planning stage rather than treated as separate jobs.
We install the complete in-roof roofing system, including battens, trays, flashing and solar panels, before completing the surrounding slate or tile roof covering and feeding the panel cables into the building. The electrical installation is then completed by our trusted specialist solar subcontractor, who carries out the internal cable routing, inverter and battery installation, commissioning and MCS certification.
Our 15-year workmanship guarantee applies to the roofing works associated with supplied and fitted new roofs and roof replacements, including our installation of the in-roof solar roofing system. Electrical works, solar equipment and associated certification are covered separately by the relevant installer and manufacturer terms.
