   What are solar shingles?

   • For this reason, solar shingles are also known as Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). Because solar shingles are integrated into a home’s structure, they are typically more suited to new builds or when replacing an old roof. Solar panels are much easier to retrofit onto an existing building.

   Are solar shingles better than roof shingles?

   • Solar panels are mounted on your roof, while the shingles are integrated into the building itself. Shingles are sized and shaped to blend into the roof visually. The black colour works well for most roof designs. For this reason, many people find PV shingles more aesthetically pleasing than rooftop panels.

   How do Solar shingles work?

   • Shingles work the same way as PV solar panels but are designed to look and function like traditional slate or asphalt shingles. Instead of using mounting hardware and frames to install solar shingles — as is common with rooftop solar panel arrays — they are embedded into the roof during construction and replace conventional shingles.

   Can you put a solar panel on a thatched roof?

   • Thatched roofs are not suitable for solar panels. There’s no mounting system designed for thatch, which wouldn’t be ventilated well enough underneath the panels and so would rot. And given that thatched roofs already present a fire risk, putting an electrical system on top wouldn’t be sensible!
