New home construction, old home remodeling, do you stop at the “choose tile” step?
If you choose traditional tiles, you can only protect yourself from the wind and rain, which has no extra value except spending money.
If you choose solar panels, you have to set up bulky brackets on the roof, which not only destroys the aesthetics of the roof, but also worry about roof leakage and being blown over on typhoon days. ......
Don't be anxious! Now there is a “best of both worlds” solution - solar roof tiles.
It is not only can block the rain “tile”, but also can generate electricity “solar energy equipment”, today will take you to understand: What exactly are the advantages of solar roof tiles?Compared with traditional tiles and solar panels, who should I really choose?
We first need to understand clearly: solar tile is not “solar panels affixed to the tile”, but the integrated design of solar modules and tiles, laying on the roof and ordinary tiles are no different, but there is the sun can generate electricity, the core advantage of the poke a lot of people's needs:
◆ Generate electricity to make money, easy to earn “electricity cost difference”
A solar roof tile is a mini power station, absorbing solar energy into electricity during the day, directly for the home refrigerator, air conditioning, lamps and lanterns.
Inexhaustible electricity can also be “sold to the grid” (nationally supported “grid-connected policy”), for example, 100 square meters of roof paved with PV tiles can generate 1500-1800 degrees of electricity per month, half of which can be used by your own family, and the rest can be sold to the grid, which is a very substantial income.
According to the current electricity price, the cost can be recovered in 5-6 years, and after that 25-30 years are pure income, which is equivalent to equipping the roof with a “long-term money bank”.
◆ Roofing aesthetics, and the house “as one”
You don't want a row of high-profile solar panels on your own roof, do you?
Solar roof tiles can directly replace the traditional tiles, the color of zircon black, brick red, elegant gray, etc., can also be customized according to the slope of the roof, shape (such as pitched roofs, irregular roofs can be installed). After installation, it is a neat roof tile from a distance, only to find out the hidden “power generation secrets” when you look closely, and your neighbors can't tell that your home is equipped with solar energy equipment.
◆ Installation saves time and “double costs”
Before installing traditional solar panels, you have to lay a layer of traditional tiles first, and then install solar panels on top of it with brackets, which is both costly and time-consuming.
Solar roof tiles do not need to be so troublesome -- directly on the roof grass-roots level, one-step, saving the money of traditional tile materials and bracket installation costs. 100 square meters of the roof, 3-5 workers can be paved in 3 days, half as fast as the installation of solar panels.
Many people worry that “power generation equipment is afraid of wind and rain”. On the contrary, solar roof tiles are more durable than traditional tiles:
The surface layer is impact-resistant toughened glass, which is capable of carrying 12-stage typhoons, preventing hailstones with a diameter of 5cm, and is also corrosion-resistant (it can be used in seashore and humid areas);
And it adopts an “integrated waterproofing design”, which seals the tiles with snaps, making it more reliable than traditional tiles with “laminated waterproofing”. Moreover, it adopts the “integrated waterproof design”, which is more reliable than the traditional tile's “laminated waterproofing”, so you don't have to worry about rainwater seeping into the roof.
The service life is even higher than that of traditional tiles -- traditional tiles usually need to be replaced in 10-15 years, while solar roof tiles can be used for 25-30 years, during which there is basically no need for maintenance.
