Weltje Road is a tight Victorian terrace in a Thames-side conservation area. Planning sensitivity, limited roof space, and strict aesthetics made standard solar panels a non-starter.
SolarTyle’s slate-style tiles let us integrate solar without changing the character of the street. From pavement level, the roof reads as a traditional slate finish rather than a bolt-on system.
Case Study Highlights: Weltje Road, London
The system was designed around the constraints of a compact London roof, using every usable section of the slope to maximise yield while keeping a clean, flush roofline.
Project Benefits
This project shows how SolarTyle makes solar possible in design-sensitive areas:
- Planning-friendly solution for conservation areas
- Slate-style aesthetic that blends with neighbouring roofs
- Flush integration with no bulky frames or raised panels
- Optimised layout for small, awkward roof spaces
- Meaningful yield despite a compact footprint
A textbook example of where solar tiles make sense: heritage streets, limited space, and zero tolerance for visual clutter.
