Volt Solar Tile

A roof you would choose anyway.

Volt is a solar roof tile, not a panel. It sits flush with the premium profiles it is built around, and from the street you cannot tell which tiles are generating.

The roof stays the roof.

A roof is the largest single surface on a building and the first thing anyone sees. Most solar asks you to give that up. Volt was engineered on the premise that generation should not cost you the surface it sits on.

A complete Volt roof. No brackets, no rails, no panels above the tile line.

The design story

Three parts, one roof.

01 The roof tile

Bristile Roofing premium tile profile

A premium tile profile

Volt is designed around La Escandella Planum terracotta and the Bristile Roofing Prestige range. You choose the roof first, on its own merits.

02 The solar tile

The same plane, the same line

The Volt tile takes the place of the roof tile. Machined aluminium frame, low iron tempered glass, anti glare coating, interlocking with the tiles around it.

03 The finished roof

Completed Volt roof from ground level

One continuous roof

Installed at roofing stage by two coordinated teams, the Volt installer and the roofing contractor, working the same programme. No brackets, no penetrations, no exposed cabling.

The range

Two tiles, two systems.

The difference

Designed into the building.

No compromise

Architecturally flush. Indistinguishable from a standard roof tile at street level.

No penetrations

No brackets. No exposed cabling in the roof space. No structural modifications.

No return visit

Goes on at roofing stage, in the same programme. The Volt installer and the roofing contractor work together rather than solar arriving months later as a separate trade.
