Climate Change Mitigation Advancing Net Zero

Problem Addressed

How to use solar power to reduce energy use, cut carbon emissions and lower energy bills.

Solution Overview

Clearline Fusion is a roof integrated solar PV system for house builders, individual property owners and installers. Low-profile, aesthetically pleasing, solar panels replace the tiles or slates on the roof to make solar a genuine home improvement.

A typical installation cost in a range of £1-£1.50 per Wp. Solar panels should last 30 years or more, but the roof covering is likely to need maintenance in this time, as there are no tiles behind the integrated panels all roofing repairs can be carried out without touching the solar system itself. Integrated panels also mean no bird infestations behind the panels.
