Solarcentury produce C21e Tiles

Solarcentury, a leading UK solar energy company have found a cost effective way to achieve Level Three compliance in the Code for Sustainable Homes. This Code is a system that awards environmentally friendly initiatives used when building new houses. Carbon emission reduction and the use of renewable energy sources are both contributory to the score achieved.

The photovoltaic (PV) technology used by Solarcentury for roofing purposes are a great aid in achieving a good level of sustainability, and are used by a range of well known UK home builders. Their new product, the C21e tiles only require an inverter to change the generated power (DC) into that needed for the mains electricity (AC). This means that pumps, heat exchangers and other equipment which can increase the cost of installation, and therefore roofing, are not necessary. The absence of these also makes for a simple installation process. In the current economic situation, saving power and cutting costs where safe and possible is a must.

C21e Slate, a line extension of the standard C21e solar electric roof tile, has also made an impact on the roofing industry. This line allows for easy installation and more flexibility in terms of roof choice.

The company Solarcentury was founded in 1998 by Executive Chairman Jeremy Leggett. Solarcentury design and supply solar energy solutions in order to help reduce CO2 emissions, that are thought to contribute a great deal to climate change. Using renewable energy sources, including solar power, is one way in which building companies can contribute to helping the environment, while meeting standards and regulations required. As well as design and production, Solarcentury can offer guidance and support to companies who use their products, from architects and developers, through to the building process. As part of their company vision, Solarcentury run a programme in order to help reduce the cost of solar power to schools and other educational buildings.
