I needed a new roof and wanted solar but definitely not panels. Tyle were the only company that took an interest and what a good decision I made. They handled everything with complete professionalism from survey, scaffolding, skip hire, installation and commissioning. It was all completed on time. Even my wife was impressed. I am now enjoying my new hobby of monitoring solar energy. Highly recommended.

Ian and Genci have been professional, informative and reliable throughout the whole process. We needed to completely re-roof our existing roof as well as the extension, so this was a really cost-effective option. We are really pleased with the whole aesthetic and look forward to seeing how much we can save on our electricity bill throughout the next year.

Solar tiles can only be installed if you are replacing your existing roof, as they integrate directly into the roof structure. However, if you're not replacing your roof, we also offer standard solar panels for installation.

The installation process involves a full retiling of your roof, using both solar and non-solar tiles to create a seamless new roof. Our team starts by surveying your roof to ensure it is suitable for installation before booking your project and proceeding with the work.

The installation time for solar tiles depends on the size of your property but generally takes between 1 to 2 weeks, similar to a standard roof replacement. This includes the removal of old tiles, re-felting, and the installation of the new solar tiles.

Yes, our solar tiles come with a comprehensive warranty to ensure peace of mind for our clients. Warranty coverage includes both the tiles themselves and the electrical components such as inverters and batteries.

If you're not sure whether your roof qualifies for solar tiles or standard solar panels, our team can help. We conduct an initial survey to assess your roof's suitability for solar tile installation and determine the best solution for your property.
