Solar roof tiles

[maltaron]

I am shortly having an extension on my bungalow which will have a South facing hip. I am considering tiling this hip with solar tiles. Can anyone tell me where I can get them and what cost. Cost is the first to see whether it is worth doing. TIA

Have you tried Travis Perkins? They are a supplier of Solar century C21E electricity systems. 12 tile/ 18 tile and 24 tile systems. I do not know if the connection cable is included nor the inverter required for the system. However they are very helpful with enquiries. You cant access prices over the net but if you ring your local Travis Perkins they will give you a price over the phone.
Hope this helps.
