"The Volt system is light years ahead of our previous system. From a performance perspective, in the first three weeks of the Volt systems coming on line, our electricity bill reduced by 70% and so far the system has continued to exceed our expectations on performance. Our solar batteries are being fully charged, the house is running on solar during the day while we export power to the grid. The tiles look great and integrate with the roof tiles making it low profile and enhance the house curb appeal."

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

What distinguishes roof replacement from roof restoration?

Roof replacement and roof restoration are two distinct approaches to revitalising a roof. Roof restoration typically involves repairing and refurbishing specific areas of the roof, aiming to extend its lifespan and address minor issues. On the other hand, roof replacement entails the complete removal of the existing roof and the installation of a new one.

One notable advantage of roof replacement is the increased flexibility it offers homeowners regarding design choices. With a roof replacement, homeowners can opt for a complete revamp, allowing them to choose from a broader range of roofing profiles, colours, and styles. This would also enable extensive renewable energy options, such as incorporating Volt Solar Tiles into the roof.

How much does it cost to reroof a house?

The cost of reroofing a house can vary significantly based on several factors, including the reroofer you choose and the materials you opt for. For instance, when considering a tiled roof, concrete roof tiles generally tend to be more budget-friendly compared to terracotta options.

If you're looking to incorporate solar solutions into your reroofing project, there will be an additional upfront investment. However, it's essential to recognise that while the initial cost may be higher, the long-term returns can be substantial. Solar installations can lead to reduced electricity bills over time, potentially resulting in significant savings in the long run.

It's advisable to obtain quotes from reputable reroofing and solar installation professionals to get a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs and preferences.

Do you need a permit to reroof a house?

The requirement for a permit to reroof a house can vary based on local regulations and building codes. In many areas, if the reroofing project involves simple replacement of roofing materials without structural changes, a permit might not be necessary. However, it's essential to check with your local building authority to understand the specific requirements in your area.

How long does it take to reroof a house with Volt Solar Tiles?

The duration it takes to reroof a house with Volt Solar Tiles can vary based on factors such as the size of the house and the complexity of the installation. The installation of Volt Solar Tiles into the roofing system typically takes less time compared to installing solar panels atop a finished roof, as they are integrated simultaneously with the roofing system. On average, a reroofing project that includes the installation of Volt Solar Tiles could take anywhere from [x] to [x]

What is the difference between solar tiles & solar panels?

Both solar modules are used for solar energy generation, using similar components to achieve the outcome. However, solar panels are larger by almost half and are mounted on top of your roof plane, whereas solar tiles integrate within your roof and sit alongside your standard roof tiles. Previously, solar panels have been more successful with energy generation than solar tiles. VOLT is the first solar tile to reach equivalent capacity as that of a standard solar panel, making it the most powerful solar tile on the market.

How do solar tiles fit into a roof?

Each tile has been engineered with a roof interlock design. This allows Volt to interconnect and lock into place with other volt solar tiles and standard roofing tiles, concealing itself within the roof profile, instead of being mounted on top like a standard panel.

Who installs Volt solar tiles?
