Installation is Easy
Ideal for both new construction or re-roofing, the complete Sunslates® system is delivered to the job site. No special trades are necessary. Once trained, the roofer and electrician can handle the installation themselves:
Sunslates® are secured with stainless steel storm anchor hooks and anchored to 1x4 nailers resting on 2x2 sleepers. They are tested to 120 mph.
Each Sunslates® tile comes with a proprietary gas-tight connector that wires each tile to the adjacent tile. With a simple twist of a special screwdriver-like tool (provided), locks and secures the Sunslates® tile within its circuit.
At the end of each course a homerun cable is run to a splice box on the underside of the roof deck. On new construction, the low voltage cable is run through wall bays to the inverter. Usually on re-roof construction it is run through conduit on the exterior wall through an eave.
The typical size of an energy roof uses about 300 ft. square of SUNSLATES. (17' x 17'). This size dimension requires one inverter. (Note) Each 100 sq feet of Sunslates® installed is 750 pounds of roofing. This compares to 1100-1300 pounds per square for concrete tile and 300 pounds for composition shingles.
A single sub-roof penetration (through the plywood sheathing and felt paper, not the tiles) is required per roof plane of SUNSLATES installed.
The wiring from the roof to the inverter and from the inverter to the main house panel can be handled by the on-site electrical contractor who is wiring the rest of the house using standard wiring techniques.
The inverter is installed within a cabinet that is built into an exterior or interior location in the house, preferably one that is close to the main house panel.
