Solar for pitched roofs

No other solar manufacturer has worked out installation for pitched roofing like Viridian Solar.

Slimline elegant integrated solar panels

Great Looking
Clearline solar panels are only 80mm thin. When integrated with rolling tiles, the panels finish flush with the tile surface. Connections are neatly tucked away behind and hidden from sight. The choice of three panel sizes, together with options to install either joined together or spaced apart on the roof gives designers a wide range of options to integrate renewable energy and remain in harmony with the building.

See the Gallery for examples.

Rapid Installation
Clearline has been designed to build upon the strengths of traditional skills found in construction, rather than expecting plumbers to do roofing or roofers to do plumbing. The roofing installation requires no plumbing or wiring, all of which can be done at a later time from inside the building. By separating trades, work can progress smoothly and quickly on site, with no need to coordinate trades.

The patented push-fit flashing kit is a snap, with roofing installation taking as little as 15 minutes per panel.

Simple installation

Peace of Mind
The separation of roofing from plumbing and electrical works brings clarity of reponsibility and safer working practices. Clearline enables you to keep the working at height and the responsibility for the weathertightness of the roof all together in a roofing subcontractor's package, avoiding grey areas.

In marked contrast to the "compliance culture" of many suppliers in the construction products industry, Viridian has led the way on testing solar products. Rather than waiting for legislation to catch up with renewable energy products, Viridian worked with the British Board of Agrement to develop suitable tests for Clearline as a building component.
