There may be a requirement to use ‘dummy panels’ to limit the size of the solar system (e.g. A complete roof can be achieved using panels or PV slates (tiles). The complete solar roof looks fantastic (see GB-Sol and Easy Roof Evolution below), but generally costs more than a partial roof system. The initial choice is whether to use a complete solar roof system or a system in which the solar takes up only a part of the roof. In roof solar panels are the obvious choice when building a new property or when roof refurbishment works are being undertaken. The slight disadvantage is that the panels are harder to ventilate and the systems are generally 5-10% less efficient than on roof systems because they operate at higher temperatures. In roof PV panels have the advantage that they tend to be more aesthetically pleasing as they sit lower in the roof and look like an intended part of the roof rather than an add-on. Tiles are not required under an in roof system. ‘In roof’ solar panels are very similar to ‘on roof’ panels, the only real differences being that with in roof solar panels, the panels serve a dual purpose, acting both as the roof covering and as generators of electricity.
