New Glass PV Tiled Roof Design

Polysolar have completed their first new PV glass tile roof installation on a domestic property in Cambridge.  Working in partnership with OMT of Germany. Polysolar have designed a new mounting system for their opaque thin film glass modules.  The unique design enables the panels to overlap each other like a tiled roof providing an effective water proof roof that looks highly attractive as an entire roof finish.  The client described the system as " highly contemporary yet in keeping with the building and its surroundings".  "This is what PV should be - part of the building fabric and still an attractive element of the structure"
