Benefits Of Installing Solar Panels Onto Your Tiled Roof
High Durability
Concrete tiles are robust and can withstand the weight of solar panels, providing a stable and secure base for installation. This durability ensures that both the roof and the solar panels have a long lifespan.
Low Maintenance
Solar panels typically require minimal maintenance. Concrete tiled roofs are also low-maintenance, making the combination ideal for homeowners seeking an efficient energy solution without ongoing hassle.
Better Aesthetic Integration
Concrete tiles are available in various colours and styles, allowing for an aesthetically pleasing integration of solar panels. This can enhance the property's overall appeal rather than detract from it.
Flexibility in Installation
Concrete tiled roofs can support various mounting systems, making it easier to position solar panels for optimal sun exposure and efficiency.
Rainwater Management
The slope of concrete tiled roofs can facilitate effective rainwater drainage. This promotes good water management, reducing the risk of water accumulation that could potentially impact the solar panels and roof structure.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
Solar panels can significantly increase the energy efficiency of a home. By converting sunlight into electricity, homeowners can reduce their reliance on grid power, leading to lower energy bills.
Solar Panels vs Solar Tiles
Solar Panels
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are typically rectangular and mounted on the roof of a building. They consist of multiple solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity. The panels can be installed on various roof types such as concrete tiled roofs, and are often easier and quicker to install which makes installing solar panels a popular choice for many residential customers. The installation process usually requires mounting structures and wiring, but they are versatile enough to adapt to most homes without significant roof modifications.
Solar Tiles
Solar tiles, or solar shingles, are designed to resemble traditional roofing materials, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the roof structure. They serve a dual purpose: protecting the roof while generating electricity, however their installation can be more complex and time-consuming, often requiring specific roof angles and conditions to optimise for maximum energy capture unlike solar panels which are more versatile and adaptable to your roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Solar panels will not damage your tiled roof when installed properly by professionals. The installation process typically involves securing the panels to the roof using brackets that are carefully designed to avoid disrupting the roof tiles. At The Skill Group, our installers will ensure that your roof remains watertight and that no structural integrity is compromised. They will also assess the condition of your roof beforehand, addressing any existing issues prior to installation. With the right expertise, solar panels can be a safe and effective addition to your tiled roof.
-
Not all solar panel systems are universally compatible with concrete tiled roofs, as several factors can influence their installation. The design and structure of the roof, including its pitch, orientation, and the weight-bearing capacity, play crucial roles in determining suitability.
At The Skill Group, we begin by assessing your property and roof to design a solar panel system that is both compatible and efficient, custom-tailored to fit your roof's unique specifications. Additionally, we can repair any old or damaged roofing to ensure a smooth installation process for your solar panels.
-
Solar panels are built for durability and can handle considerable wind, with testing standards from organisations like the IEC. They are securely mounted to roofs or ground structures with specialised brackets to stay in place during storms, this is why it is important to have your solar panels fitted by trust professionals.
While solar panels can endure wind with panels being installed by professionals, regular maintenance and inspections help ensure security and efficient operation.
-
Yes, your gutters will work with solar panels installed on your roof. Panels are mounted above the roof, allowing water to flow freely. Professional installation will ensure gutters remain unobstructed. Regular maintenance of both solar panels and gutters is advised to prevent debris buildup. With proper care, your gutters will function efficiently with the solar system.
-
Is It Worth Installing Battery Storage Alongside Your Solar Panels?
At The Skill Group, we highly recommend incorporating solar battery storage into your solar panel system. By combining solar panels with battery storage, it eliminates the need to solely depend on grid electricity and gives you the ability to buy and store energy when its at its cheapest using a smart energy tariff. You also get to take advantage of selling your energy with the SEG Scheme.
