2 Marrying traditional techniques with a modern design Subtle, elegant and brilliantly effective, our C21e solar tiles and slates have taken the world by storm. They ve become an industry standard, powering thousands of homes for free. Not only does it look great, it s also simple to specify and simple to install. No wonder it s a popular choice for installers and homeowners alike. Designed and manufactured by Solarcentury, C21e has won dozens of awards including the Queen s Award for Enterprise for Excellence in Innovation, the Ecobuild Best Building Product, the Sunday Times R&D Award and many more. Beautiful building-integrated solar There s no doubt that C21e looks beautiful when compared with conventional solar. It is a premium product that fully integrates into the roof, without any visible flashings or weather-proofing. This elegance has made C21e particularly popular for developments where conventional solar was not appropriate; C21e has been installed in conservation areas, on Grade I buildings and in areas of national beauty. And it s proved ideal for hundreds of new-build and self-build projects where speed of installation and the resulting aesthetics are key.

4 Wide compatibility C21e is compatible with a variety of tiles and slates from leading manufacturers, spanning the three most popular types natural and artificial roof slates, plain tiles and interlocking tiles. Whichever model you choose, all of the accessories required have been designed specifically for that roof type. Everything is delivered ready to go on the roof, without the need for customisation.

6 The logical choice for new buildings As a solar AND a roofing product, C21e can be incorporated simply into the construction process. C21e has been designed to be straightforward for roofers to install; just adjust your plans to specify roofing with C21e rather than roofing with tiles/slates. Solar reduces carbon emissions and cuts energy bills, helping you to meet high standards of sustainable design and evironmental assessments when constructing new homes.

7 C21e interlocking tile being installed by Soltrac Cost-effective solar By installing C21e, you could save up to 20% in installation and building costs, when compared with installing traditional on-roof solar. How? 1. C21e replaces the conventional roof covering, so you need fewer tiles and slates. 2. Because C21e is installed at the same time as your roof is being built, there s no need to coordinate multiple trades and scaffolding. 3.
