You may have heard about solar PV tiles but it’s important to understand the benefits, especially if you’re considering incorporating them into your roof. Solar tiles do tend to be more expensive than solar panels, and that’s mainly because they’re more expensive to make. These tiles work together to offer a good level of home energy, but they do look like ordinary tiles.

Many people will not completely cover their entire roof with these durable solar PV tiles, and instead they will incorporate them into their existing tiles, whether they’re slate, clay or metal. These tiles can be designed to match your existing tiles but solar panels could prove to be wiser investment if you’re not too fussed about roof styling. These are cheaper, and actually more efficient in terms of supplying energy but it’s fair to say that solar PV tiles are much better in terms of exterior design.
