Solar installation made simple

Generon has one other major benefit over most solar power systems – no specialist PV installer is needed.

That’s because the tiles are fitted in exactly the same way and at the same time as standard roof tiles by a builder or roofing contractor, and once laid each tile simply plugs into the next. Electrical connections to the invertor can then be simply carried out by an electrician on-site.

Step One

Generon tiles are laid in sequence and interlocked with the compatible Breedon Elite CRT.

Step Two

The Generon solar tiles are fitted on spaced battens with a minimum 7.5cm ventilation gap to ensure optimum temperature control.

Step Three

Generon tiles shouldn’t be drilled or screwed; instead, storm clips are used to fix them in place.

Step Four

Each tile is fitted with a weatherproof junction box and interconnecting cables – the positive terminal simply connects to the negative terminal of the adjoining tile.

Step Five

The final positive and negative terminals are the only two cables that pass through the roof felt to be connected to the invertor.

Step Six

The end result is a seamlessly integrated solar roof, combining unrivalled aesthetics with optimum solar PV performance.
