Homeowners with slate roofs have long faced a frustrating dilemma: enjoy the benefits of solar energy or preserve the integrity and beauty of their roof. Traditional solar installation methods often require drilling through or removing slate tiles—a risky and invasive process that can result in damage, leaks, and costly repairs. Fortunately, there’s now a smarter, safer way: the SlatePlate mounting system.
What Makes SlatePlate Different?
The SlatePlate system is a patented solution designed specifically for solar installations on slate roofs. Rather than compromising the tiles, it allows installers to mount solar panels without removing or damaging a single slate tile. Instead, the system transfers the panel’s weight directly to the roof’s structural members, preserving both the roof’s functionality and its classic look.
Key Benefits of the SlatePlate System
- Non-Invasive Installation: SlatePlate avoids the need to drill through fragile tiles or alter your roof’s original materials.
- Preserves Aesthetic Value: Your home maintains its historic or high-end appearance with no visible damage or alterations to the slate.
- Leak Prevention: By eliminating tile penetrations, the system helps prevent water intrusion and long-term moisture issues.
- Engineered Durability: SlatePlate is built to withstand decades of exposure to the elements, just like your slate roof.
- Faster, Safer Installations: Installers trained on the system can complete jobs more efficiently and with less risk of damage.
Ideal for Historic Homes and High-End Properties
For homeowners in areas where architectural preservation is essential, the SlatePlate system is especially valuable. Whether you’re in a historic district or simply want to protect your investment, this technology offers the only proven way to add solar panels to a slate roof without compromise.
