Design Inspired by Tradition
SunStyle’s solar roof isn’t just about tech—it’s about aesthetics too. Inspired by the traditional slate shingle roofs of the Swiss Alps, the dragon-scale pattern isn’t just for looks. It’s functional, ensuring optimal water-tightness and stability. The diamond-shaped shingles fit together perfectly, adapting to any roof shape and maintaining that classic, harmonious look. So, you get solar power without sacrificing the charm of your home’s roofscape.
How SunStyle Works
The magic lies in the integration. The solar tiles are screwed directly into the sub-roof structure, which can be made of wood or stainless steel. Each tile houses monocrystalline solar cells embedded in a flexible layer of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), protected by hardened solar glass on the front and a tough backsheet or safety glass on the back. Electrical connectors on the back make wiring foolproof and safe, allowing the electrical setup to happen simultaneously with the roof installation. It’s smart, efficient, and designed for durability.
Durability and Maintenance
SunStyle solar tiles ditch the usual frames—not just for looks, but because it lets rain naturally clean the roof. This means less hassle and fewer maintenance worries. The tiles are built to last, with materials chosen for their resilience and energy efficiency. And if something ever goes wrong? Support is available to help fix any defects, keeping your solar roof in top shape for years to come.
