Most solar systems either rest directly on top of the roof or are suspended just above the roof on brackets. We can mount on top of a roof, but prefer to fully integrate the ATON panels into the roof because:
- Our roof integrated panel provides a very attractive low profile when integrated into the roof covering. Being sunken below tile level it’s actually lower than a typical rooflight.
- The streamlined design helps keep the panel in place and minimise any potential noise in high winds.
- There are no tiles or slates hidden under the panel which are inaccessible for maintenance or renewal.
- In new build there is a considerable saving of tiles or slates where the panel is fitted.
- In existing roofs many tiles and slates become available for repairs elsewhere
- All plumbing is safe and dry inside the roof space.
- No control sensor wires are fitted on the roof, very often fitted by drilling holes through roof tiles and sealing with mastic.
- Fitting the panel to the roof normally only takes one day.
- The cover has an special UV anti-aging treatment which prevents reduction of light transmission by more than 6% in over 10 years. In the unlikley event of a damaged cover (virtually unbreakable) a separate a replacement is available at low cost.
