As a new type of building material combined with photovoltaics, solar roof tiles will be introduced in this article in terms of both power and size.

As roofing materials - roof tiles that generate electricity - aesthetics and protection of the roof are the most important and fundamental, while other characteristics - such as the ability to generate electricity - are just additional attributes. Other properties, such as the ability to generate electricity, are just additional attributes.

Power

Most of the solar panle power can reach 400w or more, sgbsolar's T MAX O standard power is 90w, so in terms of power, solar energy roof tiles can't be compared with the professional power generating solar panle.

As shown in the picture, the power of one piece of solar panle is about 6 times that of solar roof tiles.

Size

It is well known that the solar panle, although it produces a lot of electricity, is too large and can cause damage to the roof if it is installed on the roof.

As you can see in the picture, I have chosen a regular size for comparison. solar energy roof tiles are about a quarter of the size of a solar panle.

The solar roof tiles are much smaller in size and can be easily and flexibly installed on a wide range of roofs. sgbsolar has also equipped different types of solar roof tiles with corresponding accessories, which can be cut so that the homeowner does not have to worry about mismatches between the roof dimensions.

Power generation per square meter

Perhaps we can do a simple calculation from another angle

Comparison analysis of photovoltaic panels and solar roof tiles on the same roof:

Calculation of the power generation of one square meter of photovoltaic panel:

Solar roof tile area: 1.134m*2.256m = 2.56sqm

Power: 540w

The power per square meter of solar roof tile is: 540w/2.56sqm = 210w

The power per square meter of photovoltaic tile is 180w.

Because some smaller areas on the roof cannot accommodate the installation of larger photovoltaic panels.

Conclusion

For the same area of the roof, the difference in installed capacity between installing solar roof tiles and photovoltaic panels is not significant.

I have to admit, as a new type of roofing material, solar roof tiles are a perfect product, as renewable energy, but also in line with the trend of the offline market - environmental protection!

If you have a new or remodeled roof, why not give it a try?

Perhaps you have a traditional shingle or solar panle business, then solar roof tiles would be a great addition to your business.
