December 26, 2007—Eagle Roofing Products’ comprehensive solar roofing system, the Eagle Solar Roof, enhances the appearance of any architectural style, maintains esthetics of a tile roof while significantly reducing energy bills for light industrial and commercial buildings and for homeowners.
Eagle is now offering a turnkey solar tile system through its strategic relationship with Open Energy Corp., a company focused on the development and commercialization of renewable energy products. Its solar photovoltaic (PV) solution maintains the esthetics of a tile roof while generating clean, safe, energy efficient electricity from the sun, says Eagle.
The SolarSave Roofing Tiles were designed to perform and be installed as a roofing product rather than a traditional solar panel and can even be walked on. The solar tiles are lightweight and easily handled so that roofing contractors and solar integrators will benefit from improved ease of installation.
Eagle maintains that it is the first concrete roof tile manufacturer to offer a turnkey solar roofing solution that not only enhances the appearance of a tile roof but is socially responsible and highly effective in significantly reducing or even eliminating energy bills.
The Open Energy SolarSave PV tiles used in the Eagle Solar Roof are low maintenance, requiring only hosing or wiping at regular intervals to remove any dust and debris from blocking the rays of the sun. The tiles are also durable and have a wind load rating up to 125 mph when installed with wind clips.
The resulting installation provides quiet and reliable power generation, reducing pollution and green house gas emissions while delivering safe and secure sustainable energy.
SolarSave solar panels come with a 25-year limited power output warranty and protection against water intrusion. The Eagle Solar Roof also comes with 10 years of free Internet-based solar system monitoring.
