In-Roof Solar Range

A roof can do so much more than offer protection from the elements. The expanse of a roof provides one of the best locations to introduce solar technologies and take advantage of the benefits that integrated solar can bring.

System compatibility
The advantage of specifying and installing a complete BMI Redland roofing system is a simple fact of best fit. Every engineered component in the system, including tiles, fittings, components and accessories, is designed, tested and validated to complement each other, fixing with perfect strength, durability and compatibility. All elements of the system work together to form a roof that complies with all regulations, including BS 5534 and BS 8612.


Integrated design
Our pitched roof solar solutions go far beyond simply adding panels to a roof. Designed to integrate with the BMI Redland tiles, fittings and components, BMI pitched in-roof solutions feature a special fixing system that allows the panels to sit harmoniously within the tile system to deliver an easy to design and install, cost-effective solution that helps you meet your energy targets.

Roofing experience
Over a century of roofing experience stands behind you. We’ve been manufacturing pitched roofing systems for the UK’s largest specifiers, housebuilders and developers for decades. Our integrated solar solutions, technical services and standards ensure that new developments meet sustainability targets in the most effective way.

Certainty in testing
BMI Redland invests in additional stringent validation and testing processes. This provides housebuilders and developers with the evidence and reassurance that the specified BMI Redland roof provides best fit for the highest performance requirements.

Frequently asked questions on PV systems

An in-roof solar PV system integrates solar panels directly into the roofing structure, replacing traditional materials. This system offers a sleek, low-profile design and is especially beneficial for new builds or major roof renovations. It generates electricity by converting sunlight into power, reducing energy costs and contributing to sustainability goals. In-roof systems are also more aesthetically pleasing.

The PV Configurator can be used to plan a roof-integrated solar system that matches your building’s specifications. By entering roof dimensions, pitch, and structural details, the configurator helps design a system that optimises energy production and integrates with the roof. However, to accurately predict the system’s energy output (kWh) and installation cost, it is crucial to consult with a qualified installation expert to assess building-specific factors.

Integrated solar systems for new homes offer several key benefits, including easy integration with the roof for a sleek design and long-term cost savings. These systems are ideal for developers, contractors and housebuilders looking to enhance the sustainability of new builds. With fewer components visible compared to traditional on-roof systems, integrated systems reduce the complexity of installation and ensure the property maintains its aesthetic appeal. Additionally, choosing an integrated system could help improve property value and meet the growing demand for renewable energy solutions.

Planning a solar PV installation is simplified with the PV Configurator, an integrated solar planner that streamlines the entire design process. This tool helps reduce complexity by providing accurate technical information tailored to your project. As a comprehensive PV planner, it generates bespoke technical designs and specifications, delivering a customised project pack with all the necessary details. This allows for efficient solar installation planning, ensuring that both energy output and roof integration are optimised.

An economical solar PV system balances cost with energy savings. While roof-integrated solar calculators like the PV Configurator help with project design, they focus on creating the best-fit configuration for a solar roof type along with an estimated power output and an approximate cost for the system.

An economical solar PV system strikes a balance between installation costs and long-term energy savings. Tools like the PV Configurator act as integrated solar calculators, helping you design a system that best fits your roof. They provide an estimate of the system’s power output and offer an approximate cost based on the configuration.
