4 FAQs about Solar panels installed on Tallinn tile roofs

Should solar panels be installed over traditional roofs?

Solar panels installed over traditional roofs can suffer from weather-related problems and compromise the roof construction. The EU-funded TilePlus project designed new roof tiles with embedded tough photovoltaic cells. This would allow millions of homes across Europe to produce their own energy.

How do I install solar panels on a lightweight tile roof?

The best way to install solar panels on a lightweight tile roof is through a method called inset solar installation, also known as a “comp-out” installation. This technique removes the section of tile where the solar panels will be installed and replaces it with composite shingles before mounting the solar array.

Why should you install solar panels on your roof?

The tiles provide all the protective properties of normal roof tiles, while offering a way for residents to gather their energy directly from the sun. As the solar panels create energy where it will be used, this also reduces losses incurred during energy transport and transmission.

Can a tile roof handle solar panels?

If you have a tile roof and are considering solar energy, you might be wondering whether your roof can handle solar panels. Tile roofs—especially lightweight cement or clay tiles—are beautiful and durable but also delicate. Unlike asphalt shingles, they can crack easily under pressure, which makes solar installation a bit more challenging.
