SOLAR PV RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS >>> Continued from page 28 attraction as a renewable energy source, it can also add overall value to properties. According to Solar Energy UK, adding solar PV can increase the market value of a house by around £1,800. In addition, awareness of solar is also growing across the construction sector, with 40% percent of housebuilders, specifiers and architects recently polled by Marley saying they are already aware of the positive impact solar PV can have as a sustainable technology within the overall building fabric. Whilst specifiers, housebuilders and consumers may have concerns about the appearance of bulky, on-roof solar panels, the latest integrated PV roof systems now offer a more visually appealing, cost effective and easier to install option. Replacing a section of roof tiles, an integrated PV solution such as Marley’s SolarTile provides a sleek aesthetic and acts as a seamless part of the overall roof. This type of solar panel can also be installed at the same time as the rest of the roof tiles, without a specialist contractor. Marley SolarTile can also come as a key component of a fully integrated roof system from a single source supply with the substantial offer of a 15-year guarantee providing peace of mind to specifiers and home purchasers. With electric charging points on new builds, and homeowners looking to embrace green technologies such as heat pumps and solar on the roofscape, specifiers are responding and seeking new solutions. Doing so also helps safeguard people against energy price concerns as they use cleaner, greener, and cheaper power.
