Aesthetic appeal and energy performance from your roof system

The Crest Nelskamp Planum and G10 S PV integrated solar PV system is a quick and easy to fit system that works seamlessly with Crest’s Planum concrete and G10 clay roof tiles, offering a state-of-the-art solution for the completed roof.

With an increasing focus on sustainable solutions in the built environment as the UK looks to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, Crest Building Products offers the Crest Planum and G10 Clay S PV Integrated solar system. They are engineered to fit quickly and are installed at the same time as the roof, interlocking easily with Crest’s Planum concrete flat tiles and the G10 clay tiles. Crest’s PV Solar Tile solution provides an almost seamless, attractive finish to the completed roof, whilst supplying the homeowner or building owner with an instant clean and efficient energy supply.

A key benefit for installers is that the simple and quick interlocking ‘plug and play’ installation method makes the solar roof tile ideal for both new build and renovation projects. This makes it an ideal and accessible option for roofing contractors who are looking to expand their offering and capitalise on the demand for energy efficient products.

The Planum and G10 solar roof tiles are made from quality materials which have been specifically selected and tested to ensure optimal solar return with highly efficient monocrystalline solar cells.

Both modules come with a product guarantee of 10 years, whilst users will enjoy a performance guarantee of 90% of rated performance for 10 years, and 80% for 25 years, ensuring they can make the most of their installation.

The Planum integrated solar panels have subtle attractive looks and are virtually invisible.

*Planum Concrete PV - building-integrated photovoltaics
The Planum PV module fits with the Planum and Planum Duo concrete roof tile and has a deck width of 1500mm (5 roof tiles) as well as a variable deck length between 32.5 - 34.0cm. The module has hanging lugs which are attached to the roof battens and fixed with a screw, and the solar panels interlock with the Planum roof tile. With only approx. 5.5m roof area per kWp output, it is extremely powerful and impresses with the clear lines on the roof.

The G10 integrated module offers complete synergy between the roof and the solar panel.

G10 S PV - building-integrated photovoltaics
The G10 S PV module fits with the flat, smooth clay roof tile G10 and has a cover width of 1494mm (6 roof tiles) and a variable cover length between 38.4 - 40.4cm. The module has hanging lugs with which it is hung on the roof battens and screwed as well as a fold on both lateral ends that correspond to the fold of the G10 tile.

With only approx. 5.6m² roof area per kWp output, it is also one of the very powerful BIPV modules using the latest half-cut cell technology. The slightly higher cover length leads to a slightly higher frame proportion, which is used for an aesthetic notch at the base of the tile. This notch simulates the tile joint and thus underlines the roof tile aesthetics. Furthermore, the base of the tile is toothed in order to allow for additional air ventilation and cooling.
