Solarcentury UK

Solarcentury is a leading UK solar thermal and voltaic technology company.

Some of their innovative products:

Solar Louvres
Solar Facade (Cladding)
C21 Solar Electric Roof Tiles

The Electric roof tiles are particularly interesting as it means the solar power aspects are no longer a bolt on to the roof but the panels are now part of the roof. Very unobtrusive and low impact building materials. In a new build part of the saving can be the roof tiles you don't have to buy.

If every roof was made of those tiles we would use a lot less energy in the UK.

Solarcentury are also one of three framework suppliers for the governments low carbon building scheme phase 2. This means they can offer up to 50% grants for any organisation in the public sector. They also offer a solar4schools programme and easy ownership leasing options.
