175 W FIT VOLT integrated solar roof panel, 558 × 2040 mm

Planning a new roof and on-site electricity generation in the same project offers a way to make coordinated use of both investments. SOLROOF combines steel roofing with photovoltaics built into its surface. Active sections generate electricity, while matching inactive panels complete the roof slope. The owner gains a roof with a consistent appearance and can consider power for the home or business while selecting the material that protects the building.

An active panel serves as both a roofing component and a source of electricity. This allows the overall investment to be assessed instead of considering a conventional covering and an installation added above it later as separate purchases. The approach is particularly relevant to a new build or full roof replacement, where a covering must be funded anyway. Active and inactive sections can be laid out within the same geometry. The design then accounts for both electricity demand and the actual shape of the roof.

On-site generation can reduce grid electricity consumption, especially when demand coincides with the installation’s operating hours. This can be useful in a home with electrical appliances, an office or a small service premises operating during the day. Financial performance depends on sunlight, configuration and electricity use, so the system is selected for the particular building. The practical advantage is clear: a surface previously used only to shelter the interior receives an additional function.

Photovoltaics integrated into the covering help retain the consistent character of a standing-seam roof. The electricity-generating section need not look like a separate addition to a finished building. This matters in a home with restrained architecture, guest accommodation or business premises where the roof affects the overall impression. The steel base combines this appearance with the function of a roof covering. Owners can coordinate the roof with the façade and other building elements from the outset. This is particularly useful on a prominent house roof with large glazed areas, where a simple roof form remains important to the overall composition.

The system includes coordinated roof components, flashings and installation equipment, helping to plan the full investment scope. Planned cable routing organises the installation, while generation monitoring helps users observe its operation. The owner can assess a coherent proposal covering materials and technical arrangements. Rather than adapting independent solutions later, the roof and its energy-generating role can be included in the construction schedule and the intended use of the building.
