What To Consider Before Installing Solar Tiles
Most of the people now want to adopt environment-friendly ways of living. However, the hassle associated with fitting solar modules makes them an unviable option for many.
Solar roof tiles are however a good option as they are not bulky. These new solar devices can effortlessly merge with the roof when fitted. They also come in a range of colours and designs.
Beauty
When looking for roof tiles, you should determine what you want your roof to look like. Solar roof tiles are an excellent option as they look attractive without making your roof look crowded like it can if you use solar panels. Solar roof tiles are designed in a way that can match the décor of any home, be it contemporary or old-fashioned. They come in all sizes so you will not face any difficulty finding the right tiles for your roof. Solar roof tiles come in colours like dark purples and dark blues and in some muted tones.
Shelf life
Solar roof tiles have a life span of between 20 and 30 years. They are similar to traditional solar panels and other roof tiles. Solar roof tiles are designed so it is easily possible to replace any individual tile.
Costs
Installing solar roof tiles can be a little more expensive compared to solar panels. This is because solar panels just sit on top of your roof while solar roof tiles have to be fitted into the roof. You should always hire professionals to install solar roof tiles.
