What is the history of these PV solar panels?
Before serial production, the company completed 18 months of research and development with two goals: invest in the Net Zero 2040 target by reducing CO₂ emissions and make solar energy and PV panels easier and more accessible for British people.
Which benefits do the new PV panels give the global market?
The panels are a competitive product that increases choice on the global solar PV market. Each panel provides 455 W of power, although the fixed price was not yet available.
Using panels instead of concrete tiles can decrease the final cost of construction and increase efficiency. Russell Roof Tiles has also procured 100% renewable electricity at all three manufacturing sites.
Dan Hancox, Corporate Sustainability and Development Director, said the market-leading offer would provide a 15-year roof system guarantee and a market-first 30-year performance guarantee when fitted according to guidance.
