For merchants looking to give even greater choice to their customers, roof systems manufacturer, Marley, has launched the new M10 Solar Photovoltaic Panel, further strengthening its popular and innovative Marley SolarTile® range with a number of key benefits, including increased power output from a roof area, a need for fewer solar panels as well as reduced installation times.
Power up
Larger than, but complementary to, Marley’s existing 335 Wp solar panels, the new M10 Solar Photovoltaic Panel delivers a peak power of 405 Wp to increase total power from a roof area, whilst the larger size means that fewer solar panels are required on a roof to achieve the desired power output. Importantly, since fewer panels are needed, installation time is also reduced to less than 45 min/kWp.
Sustainable solution
The new M10 offers simple roof integration with a clean, low-profile aesthetic making it a sustainable solution for new builds and retrofit projects.
Compatible with all plain and profiled tiles and natural or fibre cement slates, the M10 includes special fixings for different batten thicknesses and comes with roofing kits for simple fitting. Achieving exceptional fire performance, wind resistance, and weather tightness, the M10 is the perfect solution for any solar roof project.
Cost effective
The monocrystalline half cut M10 (182mm) format cells are laid out in 6 x 9 x 2 arrangements over a black back sheet with black framing for a contemporary feel and a seamless look. The M10 offers 10 slimline connectors for each cell meaning the higher power rating enables roof integrated solar to be even more cost effective.
Growing demand for solar
Stuart Nicholson, Roof Systems Director at Marley, said, ‘As regulatory changes charge towards the 2050 net zero target, the demand for solar panels is on the rise, so it is imperative that builder’s merchants stock the full range of options for their customers. The M10 solar panel is Marley’s next step in our continued commitment to delivering a complete renewable package, across our integrated full roof system, driving a more sustainable environment.
‘Requiring fewer panels and roofing kits to attain a given energy target, the M10 solar panel reduces installation timescales, optimising resource planning and further reducing cost. The addition of the new larger M10 solar panel to our existing 335Wp solution gives merchants greater versatility when it comes to advising on project size and output requirements.
‘The new M10 panel integrates perfectly with the Marley Full Roof System and all tile types, giving the reassurance of Marley’s 15-year guarantee when the panels are installed as part of a complete roof system.’
Those looking to incorporate the M10 Solar Photovoltaic Panels as part of a sustainable roofing solution can use Marley’s online configurator to assess system requirements and include ArcBox, the easy to install solar connector enclosure for enhanced safety should an electrical arc occur.
