Wedoany.com Report-May 17, Solartag, a Danish specialist in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), has introduced a new solar tile designed for pitched roofs. The T-Roof plate offers a seamless blend of functionality, aesthetics, and durability, serving as a complete replacement for conventional roofing materials.

Rune Gitz-Johansen, Solartag’s chief procurement officer, explained: “Solartag’s T-Roof plate is a fully integrated BIPV solution designed to replace traditional roofing materials entirely – combining function, aesthetics, and durability. The Solartag design is standardized for mass production and is manufactured in Lithuania. The flagship color is black, but we can do tailored projects.”

The solar tile measures 43.5 cm by 116 cm, with a weight of 14.2 kg/m². It achieves a power conversion efficiency of 16% and delivers a power output of 71 W. The tile features an open-circuit voltage of 9.62 V and a short-circuit current of 9.06 A. Constructed with black PERC solar cells and 4 mm low-reflection hardened glass, it is rated IP67 for durability. The product supports a system voltage of 1,000 V and operates in temperatures from -40°C to 50°C, with a temperature coefficient of 0.33%/C.

Solartag ensures sustainability by sourcing key components from European partners. Gitz-Johansen noted: “The main key components are sourced from European partners to minimize supply chain emissions and ensure fast delivery times.” This approach supports efficient production and reduced environmental impact. The T-Roof plate is manufactured in Lithuania, with a standardized design optimized for mass production. While black is the primary color, customized options are available for specific projects.

The solar tile carries a 25-year warranty for its photovoltaic technology and a 40-year warranty for the glass plate, ensuring long-term reliability. It is currently adopted by private homeowners, architects, and developers in Northern Europe who prioritize sustainable energy solutions without sacrificing design quality. Gitz-Johansen stated: “Currently, Solartag’s T-Roof plate is used by private homeowners, architects, and developers across Northern Europe who value sustainable energy without compromising design.”

The T-Roof plate reflects Solartag’s commitment to advancing renewable energy through innovative, aesthetically pleasing solutions. By integrating solar technology into roofing materials, the product supports the growing demand for sustainable building practices in Europe. Its robust design and efficient production process position it as a reliable choice for modern construction projects.
