The Photovoltaic Tiles offer all the roof covering advantages of the clay tiles they replace. They are installed like roof tiles, have modular covering capacity and the same waterproofing qualities.
In 2002 Imerys TC developed its first photovoltaic panel which is not only watertight but integrates perfectly with the surrounding roof tiles. This is called the Photovoltaic Tile.
The Photovoltaic Tile can be installed as fast as a roof tile and up to 3 times faster than some other systems.
Overheating of the panel is avoided thanks to the channel of air which is permanently present between the cells and which provides adequate ventilation.
The photovoltaic panels integrate perfectly with many tiles from the wide range offered by Imerys TC. They do so in a discrete manner without adding to the overall thickness of the roof.
The Imerys TC Photovoltaic System is an excellent investment which may also qualify you for:

When having PV systems installed it is an excellent time to have your roof replaced. As we have seen, up to 30% of heat is lost through a poorly ventilated roof so to re-roof and insulate at this time will help you derive maximum benefit from your PV investment.
The choice of an Imerys TC quality clay roof tile to integrate with your PV system is a perfect solution, particularly when your chosen Imerys tile is available in such a wide range of colours, textures and finishes to match your locality.
