Solar on Slate Roofs—Now Faster, Safer, and More Profitable
Homeowners across the country are looking for ways to lower their carbon footprint, and solar power is at the top of the list. But for those with slate roofs, the transition to solar has long been difficult—if not impossible—due to the challenges of working with slate.
That’s exactly why the Solar Slate Plate was developed.
The Challenge: Slate Roofing and Solar Don’t Mix—Until Now
Slate is a premium roofing material known for its beauty and durability. But its delicate edges and brittle structure make it tricky for even the most experienced solar installers. One wrong move and you’re dealing with cracked tiles, leaks, or expensive repairs.
Traditional solar installations on slate required slow, cautious labor—often doubling the time and cost of a typical job. For many homeowners, that made solar financially out of reach.
The Solution: A Smarter Way to Install Solar on Slate
The Solar Slate Plate is a patented tool designed to solve this exact problem. It streamlines the installation process by eliminating guesswork and protecting the roof throughout the job. With a built-in jig for precise pilot hole placement, installers can safely mount solar brackets without damaging the surrounding tiles.
The result? Installation times are cut in half—and so is the risk. That means lower costs for your customers and more jobs completed for your team.
Expand Your Market, Train Your Crew, Grow Your Business
This tool isn’t just efficient—it’s easy to use. Your entire crew can be trained on the Solar Slate Plate in under an hour. And once they’re ready, you can confidently start bidding on jobs your competitors are still turning down.
Slate roofs are everywhere—especially in historic or high-end neighborhoods. With the Solar Slate Plate in your toolset, you can finally say yes to this underserved market and grow your business in the process.
