Elm Avenue in Watford is a large detached family home with a predominantly south-facing roof, ideal for solar generation. The brief was clear: maximise output without changing the look of the most visible elevation.
Traditional bolt-on panels would have dominated the front of the house and stood out on the street. Instead, we needed a solution that would look like a normal roof while using as much of the slope as possible.
Case Study Highlights: Elm Avenue, Watford
SolarTyle tiles were installed across the full south-facing elevation to create a 9 kW integrated array. The system sits flush within the roof covering, with no rails, brackets, or raised panels, giving a clean, uniform finish.
Project Benefits
This installation shows what SolarTyle makes possible on large, south-facing homes:
- Full south-facing elevation used to deliver a 9 kW system
- Flush, tile-format solar with no rails or raised panels
- Normal roof appearance from the street
- Maximum roof utilisation with minimal wasted space
- Strong year-round production from an ideal orientation
There are thousands of similar detached homes across Watford and the wider UK. SolarTyle makes them perfect candidates for high-yield solar without the usual visual compromise.
