The first installation of Romag's new Intecto integrated photovoltaic roof tile has recently been completed by Gentoo Homes in its new housing development at Beechbrooke in England.
The building-integrated PV system combines solar energy generation with a conventional color-matched tile design to enable the PV cell to blend seamlessly into a conventional roof.
At Gentoo's Beechbrooke development, specific sections of the roof area incorporate Intecto PV tiles.
‘Our customers have been asking whether solar can be incorporated into our housing designs, as they recognize the value of renewable energy and the financial benefits the technology can deliver,’ says Barry Walker, managing director of Gentoo Homes.
