Advanced Product Range
IMERYS PVt Tiles
These replace conventional roofing materials to deliver a seamless aesthetic roofline - particularly important for planning sensitive locations such as conservation areas or listed buildings.
The ultimate sustainable roof
Imerys's Renewable roof system combines Imerys's natural clay tile range with a powerful PV tiles to make the ultimate in sustainable roofing. Imerys clay tiles are much more sustainable than energy wasting, concrete alternativetives. Combining aesthetics and PV with great value, Imerys' low embedded energy cost makes them the natural choice for sutainable building.
Long lasting and guaranteed
Imerys offer a 25 year roof warranty and 25year PV manufacturers warranty

Roof Mounted Systems
Roof mounted systems are the simplest, most cost effective and most popular way to generate electricity.
They consist of framed PV modules mounted onto a frame on a flat or pitched roof. The size of the system is only limited by the roof space available.
The picture (Right) shows modules mounted onto a flat in Camden. It includes a K2 frame pitched at 25 degrees.
The picture (left) shows a 9kWp system mounted onto a sheet steel roof in Walthamstow.
This method is especially suited to industrial and commercial sheds.
This is a cost effective way to achieve planning consent related energy or CO2 targets.
See our case studies for more examples.

Building Integrated PV (BIPV)
Flexible PV for large areas
Thin film PV is a good alternative to traditional silicon. Thin film has a lower power output per sq metre but its lower price makes it a cost effective option - especially for larger sites where space is not such a concern. The solutions shown below are, from left to right, flexible PV adhered to : raised seam steel, sheet steel, and single ply membrane.

Solar Canopies
Buildings with south facing glazing can over heat in the summer. This 5kW system acts as a sunshade, making the room temperature more comfortable and generating over 4000 kWh per year. The reduction in solar gain saves energy needed to run air conditioning/cooling systems.

Semi-Integrated PV module systems
Modules Integrated into the plane of the roof offer aesthetics at a reasonable price. This consists of modules fitted onto a weatherproof tray replacing tiles and lowering the system’s profile.
The picture below shows the system on Edge Grove School in Aldenham, Herts. This project was supported by a LCBP Phase 2 Grant. We are subcontract partners with British Gas. These grants are available for schools, community organisations, public buildings and charities. Call us for more information on 01442 397 578
PV Cladding
Cladding vertical walls with modules is a simple, cost effective and attractive way to integrate
PV into buildings.

Ground Mounted Systems
Ground Mounted systems are becoming increasingly popular where there is not enough roof space for a roof mounted system or the roof is not southerly orientated. A simple frame is constructed adjacent to the building and the modules attached. Ground Mounted systems perform well due to good ventilation. We have even designed pergolas, and canopies using modules.

Tracker Systems
Tracker systems follow the sun across the sky throughout the day to make the most of the energy available. This results in up to 40% greater output compared with a static system of the same rating. Our trackers come in three frame sizes but, by adding different modules, a wide range of output sizes can be achieved.
