What Are Integrated Solar Panels?
Integrated solar panels, also known as in-roof solar panels, are installed directly within the roof structure, replacing traditional roof tiles. Traditional solar panels sit above your roofline, on mounting frames, while integrated systems are built into the surface of your roof, offering a modern, streamlined appearance without compromising on performance.
Why Choose Integrated Solar Panels from SolarTherm UK
Seamless Aesthetic Appeal
Integrated panels fit flush with your roof, maintaining a smooth, attractive finish that complements modern and heritage homes. For many of our customers, integration is the perfect solution for reducing visual impact while still receiving the benefits of a solar installation, such as lower electricity bills, reduced reliance on expensive grid electricity and a lower carbon footprint.
Built for New Roofs and Renovations
If you are having a new roof installed or working on an extension or new build, integrated solar panels are an ideal solution. Our certified installers can integrate your solar system alongside construction, saving time, materials and money compared to mounting traditional or integrated panels after.

25 Year Lifespan with Minimal Maintenance
Our in-roof systems are built to last, with high quality materials and precision engineering. SolarTherm UK’s integrated panels deliver a minimum of 25 years of dependable performance and are likely to perform well for another 10-15 years after that. Solar panels require minimal maintenance, just an occasional clean, to remove stubborn dirt and debris, that isn’t cleared by rainfall.
How Integrated Solar Panels Work
Like traditional on roof solar panels, integrated solar panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that capture sunlight, converting it into electricity. The solar panels are fitted into weatherproof trays that replace the roof tiles and fit into your roof’s structure, ensuring your home remains watertight, insulated and efficient.
Your solar energy is then directed through an inverter, converting it into usable power for your home. Any excess electricity can be automatically exported to the National Grid through the Smart Export Guarantee, generating additional income every year.
