With the transitional period to Part L now over we’re already seeing a step change in how specifiers deliver on the sustainability challenge before them. Stuart Nicholson, Roof Systems Director at Marley, looks at the role of renewable technology in delivering compliant home.
The sustainability journey
As specifiers make strategic decisions to ensure they comply with Part L, it is important they are fully aware of the role of renewable technology to deliver real energy efficiency and long-term sustainability gains.
A primary example is solar PV roofing systems, which can reduce carbon emissions and offer energy independence for households.
Solar PV - tried and trusted
To further support specifiers with the availability of sustainable roofing solutions, Marley has extended its SolarTile® range, with the launch of a new panel.
Larger than Marley’s existing 335Wp system, the M10 Solar Photovoltaic Panel delivers a peak power of 405Wp to increase total power from a roof area, while allowing for the installation of fewer solar panels to achieve the desired power output.
Building on Marley’s existing SolarTile® range, the new M10 also offers simple roof integration with a clean, low-profile aesthetic making it a sustainable solution for new builds and retrofit projects.
When it comes to design flexibility for specifiers, the M10 is compatible with the widest range of slate and tiles and includes special fixings for different batten thicknesses.
The value of a full roof system
For ultimate peace of mind, specifiers should seek to specify a complete solution, such as the full Marley roof system. Tried and tested to work together seamlessly, a Marley full roof system includes JB Red battens, underlay, clay or concrete tiles, fixings, accessories, fire barriers and optional sustainable energy generation with integrated Marley SolarTile® and ArcBox - and the complete system comes with the reassurance of a 15-year warranty.
