Frequently Asked Questions

How much do solar tiles cost?

Solex solar tiles cost £150 / sqm, which also includes the neccesary mounting equipment.

Do Solex install?

For projects within Dorset, storage solutions for your installation can be discussed, however for projects outside of Dorset, this must be obtained through a qualified electrician.

How long will the tiles last?

With each sale we give a construction and electrical guarantee of 25 years, but will last longer due to the materials used. These being principally toughened glass, stainless steel, and aluminium. Our technical data sheet can be found here.

What generation can solar PV tiles provide?

Our current model range can provide 170 Wp / sqm. However this will depend on the layout of the roof.

How do solar tiles compare to normal solar panels?

PV roof tiles give slightly less generation per square meter when compared to normal solar panels. However, due to the smaller size of our pv roof tiles compared to normal solar panels, greater roof coverage can be achieved consequentially greater overall roof performance is possible.

How big is your solar roofing?

We currently have a range of tile sizes, these being:

1200x600mm, 1200x340mm, 900x600mm, and 600x600mm. We also supply our ACP fill-in tiles where a whole solar tile would not fit.
