Product catalog summary
Overview: Marley Eternit Limited specializes in integrated photovoltaic (PV) roofing systems, emphasizing sustainable construction. Their Solesia PV systems seamlessly integrate solar technology into roofing for both residential and commercial buildings.
Technical Advisory Service: The company offers a Technical Advisory Service with experts providing detailed responses on roofing systems, including fixing specifications and material estimations. Online tools are available for creating specifications and estimating quantities.
Customer Services: Marley Eternit is dedicated to customer care, offering a training center for practical and classroom courses, downloadable literature, and stockist information. Area Sales Managers provide site visits and tailored project solutions.
Solesia PV Systems: Designed to integrate with modern concrete and clay tiles, these systems offer easy installation, contribute to sustainable home codes, and are eligible for Feed-in Tariffs. They are MCS certified with a 25-year electrical warranty.
How Solesia PV Systems Work: The systems convert sunlight into electricity using PV tiles connected to the mains via an inverter. They generate electricity silently and can export surplus energy to the National Grid, benefiting from Feed-in Tariffs.
Benefits of PV Systems: PV systems provide a non-polluting energy source, reduce electricity bills, and require minimal maintenance. They help achieve high BREEAM ratings and sustainable home codes.
Installation and Efficiency: Optimal installation involves a south-facing orientation and a roof pitch between 20 and 50 degrees. Minimizing shadowing enhances efficiency. PV systems can be installed on various building surfaces that receive daylight.
Technical Specifications: Solesia PV modules come in different sizes and weights, with specific installation guidelines. They integrate seamlessly with Marley Eternit tiles, providing ventilation and easy replacement options.
Design Detailing: Detailed specifications for installing Solesia PV modules with Modern and Domino tiles are provided, including fixing instructions and compliance with safety regulations.
Installation and Testing Requirements: Modules are secured using specific clips, with Domino Half Tiles maintaining a consistent pattern. Commissioning and testing must be conducted by a nominated authority, with results submitted upon completion, adhering to BS EN 61215 standards. Installation must comply with CDM regulations and health and safety requirements, following BS 5534 and BS 8000-6 standards.
System Components: The Solesia PV system is modular, suitable for new or refurbished roofs, and includes PV modules, inverters, a Sunnybeam display for monitoring, and cables. The modules integrate seamlessly with specific tile profiles, ensuring durability and weather resistance.
Installation and Accreditation: Installation should be performed by MCS accredited installers. Information on suitable installers is available on the Microgeneration Certification Scheme website.
Pack Sizes and Performance: Various pack sizes are available, detailing the number of modules, PV area, and system output. Performance metrics include typical annual power output and CO2 savings, based on standard conditions.
Grid Connection and Permissions: PV systems can be grid-connected or standalone. Grid connection requires permission from the local Distribution Network Operator. Off-grid systems require battery storage. Planning permission is generally not required, except in specific cases.
System Performance and Maintenance: The system has a life cycle of 25 years, with energy payback times of 4-9 years. Modules are guaranteed for power output and water resistance. Maintenance is minimal, with self-cleaning properties and easy access for inspection.
Feed-in Tariffs (FITs): FITs encourage small-scale energy generation, offering a return of 8-10%. More information is available on the Ofgem website.

Solesia PV-3

How does a Solesia PV System work? The electricity is DC (Direct Current). An inverter converts it to AC (Alternating Current, to match mains electricity) so that it can be used normally. Daylight hits the PV tile and is converted to clean electricity. There are no moving parts, so this happens silently. This illustration diagrammatically represents the production of electricity from light using Solesia PV systems. All electrical connections and meters are contained within the building envelope. The Solesia PV roofing system is connected to the mains via a fuse box, for safety. The PV roof generates...
