This Langdon Hills home sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where standard black panels would have looked out of place. The homeowners wanted lower bills and greener living without changing the character of the roof.
SolarTyle’s red tile option made it possible. By matching the integrated solar tiles with Russell Roof Tiles’ Old Red finish, the roof retained its traditional appearance while unlocking generation.
Case Study Highlights: Langdon Hills, Essex
We installed a 6.5 kW SolarTyle system with FoxESS battery and inverter, plus an EV charger. The layout was optimised to maximise production while keeping a clean, uninterrupted roofline.
Project Benefits
A complete energy setup that still looks like a traditional roof:
- Traditional red roof appearance preserved in an AONB
- 6.5 kW generation with FoxESS battery storage
- EV charger integrated for future-proofed energy use
- Low visual impact with flush tile-format solar
- Whole-home system powering house, EV, and pool use
Solar that planners accept, neighbours barely notice, and homeowners actually benefit from.
