Technical FAQs 4

Can solar panels be installed on roof tiles?

Roof tiles, such as those from Brava Roof Tile, have specific designs to allow water to flow freely from the tiles to the gutters and down the drainage spout. Installing solar panels on top of the tiles prevents water from reaching the tiles, leading to inefficient flow and potential seepage into the roof.

How do I install solar panels on a lightweight tile roof?

The best way to install solar panels on a lightweight tile roof is through a method called inset solar installation, also known as a “comp-out” installation. This technique removes the section of tile where the solar panels will be installed and replaces it with composite shingles before mounting the solar array.

Can solar panels be installed on lightweight tiles?

If installers attempt to mount solar panels directly onto lightweight tiles, several issues can arise: Tile breakage: Walking on or drilling through these tiles can cause cracks or breaks, which may lead to roof leaks and structural damage.

Can solar panels damage a tile roof?

Future damage from vibrations: Even if tiles remain intact during installation, they can weaken over time. Wind moving between the solar panels and the racking system can create vibrations that cause tiles to crack down the road. Because of these risks, standard installation methods won’t work for tile roofs —especially lightweight ones.
