To further support the availability of sustainable roofing solutions, Marley has extended its SolarTile range, with the launch of a new panel.
Larger than Marley’s existing 335Wp system, the new M10 Solar Photovoltaic Panel delivers a peak power of 405Wp to increase total power from a roof area, while allowing for the installation of fewer solar panels to achieve the desired power output.
Building on the ease of installation found in Marley’s SolarTile range, the new M10 also offers simple roof integration with a clean, low-profile aesthetic making it a sustainable solution for new-builds and retrofit projects.
The M10 is said to be compatible with the widest range of slate and tiles and includes special fixings for different batten thicknesses. It can be fitted during a normal roofing programme and comes with compatible roofing kits for simple fitting and installation times reduced to less than 45 min/kWp. The M10 panel achieves exceptional fire performance, wind resistance, and weather tightness and is the perfect solution for any solar roof project.
Power up with fewer panels
The monocrystalline half cut M10 (182mm) format cells are laid out in 6 by 9 by 2 arrangements over a black back sheet with black framing for a contemporary and seamless look. The M10 offers 10 slimline connectors for each cell meaning the higher power rating enables roof integrated solar to be even more cost-effective.
Stuart Nicholson, Roof Systems Director at Marley, commented: “The M10 solar panel range is the next step in Marley’s continued commitment to delivering a complete renewable package, across our integrated full roof system, to drive a more sustainable environment. The specification of solar panels on roofscapes is on the rise as regulatory changes look to improve housing stock, provide access to renewable energy, and make homes more energy efficient ahead of the 2050 net zero target.
“The Marley M10 panel allows specifiers, housebuilders, and contractors to incorporate fewer panels and roofing kits to attain a given energy target. It also reduces installation timescales to optimise resource planning and further reduce cost. By increasing our SolarTile range to include the new larger 405Wp and existing, 335Wp solutions, specifiers can benefit from increased versatility depending on project size and output requirements.
“The new panel integrates perfectly with the Marley Full Roof System and all tile types, meaning specifiers, housebuilders, and contractors can also benefit from the reassurance of Marley’s 15-year guarantee when the panels are installed as part of a complete roof system.”
Those looking to incorporate the M10 Solar Photovoltaic Panels as part of a sustainable roofing solution can use Marley’s online configurator to assess system requirements and include ArcBox, the easy to install solar connector enclosure for enhanced safety should an electrical arc occur.
