MEETING THE FUTURE HOME STANDARD WITH NEW MARLEY SOLARTILE® PANEL

As the momentum to decarbonise the UK’s housing stock accelerates, Marley has extended its roof-integrated Marley SolarTile® range with the introduction of a new 445Wp all Glass panel option.

The new 445Wp enables specifiers to harvest greater energy from the same roof area - a key consideration given the recent announcement of the new Future Homes Standard for England, which identifies a clear role for PV solar systems.

For those tasked with delivering low carbon designs, the enhanced capacity of this panel offers even greater flexibility in configuring rooftop solar systems, particularly in scenarios where roof space is at a premium.

Through its higher capacity, the new panel allows energy yield from existing roof areas to be optimised, or minimum energy generation requirements to be achieved with fewer panels, fostering efficient design across both new builds and housing retrofits.

The innovative 445Wp Marley SolarTile® panel features a robust glass construction that replaces the traditional polymer back sheet, significantly improving long-term panel efficiency whilst improving resistance to environmental challenges like moisture, UV exposure and weathering.

This advancement not only enhances durability but also ensures performance stability, supporting dependable solar generation throughout the lifespan of a building - an essential consideration for specifiers engaged in long-term asset management.

The 445Wp Marley SolarTile® maintains a sleek, flush-fit roof-integrated design, allowing solar PV to blend seamlessly into the roofline.

The system is equipped with integrated flashings and offers independently tested wind and fire performance, reinforcing compliant specifications across a diverse range of projects.

Marley SolarTile® panels can be installed in either landscape or portrait orientation and are easily combined using Marley’s patented push-fit connection technology. This versatility enables flexible configurations to suit various roof shapes.

Moreover, the new 445Wp panel is seamlessly integrated into Marley’s Technical Tools platform, designed to enhance the roofing and solar specification process.
