Can Solar Panels Be Installed On A Slate Roof?
Yes, they can.
Most slate roofs in good condition are perfectly suitable for solar panels. Specialist mounting systems allow panels to be installed securely while preserving the character and appearance of the roof.
Solar Panels Can Look Great On A Slate Roof
When carefully designed and professionally installed, solar panels can complement the appearance of a traditional property while providing clean, renewable energy for many years.
What If My Roof Is Old Or Damaged?
A slate roof should always be inspected before solar panels are installed. If repairs are needed, these can often be carried out first, providing a sound roof that will last for many years.
How Are Solar Panels Fixed To A Slate Roof?
Specialist brackets are fixed through the slates directly into the roof structure, creating a secure fixing point for the solar mounting rails. Purpose-designed MCS accredited mounting systems provide a strong, reliable and weatherproof installation.
The Mounting Rails Are Fixed To The Brackets
The rails are attached to the brackets to create a strong and accurately aligned framework ready to support the solar panels.
The Finished Installation
The solar panels are secured to the rails to create a neat, attractive and long-lasting installation that blends naturally with the roof.
