SOLROOF is a complete solution. The entire roof – active (photovoltaic) part, inactive part, flashings and roofing accessories, as well as the gutter system – is manufactured by us. This means the solutions are dedicated and perfectly matched, and are readily available if the system needs replacement parts or expansion.<\/div>\n
Roof components are sourced from different suppliers. They do not declare the origin of the photovoltaic panels. As a result, issues may arise from mismatched products and a lack of dedicated flashings and accessories, affecting roof aesthetics, safety, and serviceability.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The SOLROOF brand is backed by BP2 Sp. z o.o. – we have been a renowned manufacturer of steel roofing systems for 30 years. In our facilities within the European Union, we produce the complete SOLROOF steel roof.<\/div>\n
Roofs with photovoltaic panels are most often manufactured outside the European Union, e.g., in China, and imported to Poland. Roof components are sourced from different suppliers. As a result, there is no reliable information about origin or standardized quality control, and there are also issues with availability and interchangeability of components.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The roof can be available in as little as 24 hours, which shortens lead times, reduces costs, and supports servicing. We have an extensive sales network, and contact with our sales department is handled through representatives directly affiliated with our company. This gives the customer security and convenience when purchasing and handling warranty, complaint, or service matters.<\/div>\n
Availability is very limited, and delivery can be time-consuming, among other reasons due to the need to source components from multiple manufacturers, including non-European ones.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Traditional photovoltaics<\/div><\/div>\n\n
The minimalist look lets the building\u2019s form stand out better, without the fear of overwhelming it with bulky, unattractive panels. The SOLROOF roof does not look different from standard roofing because it is based on traditional steel roofing panels installed with a standing seam. This makes SOLROOF a good fit for both modern and traditional architecture, and it can be considered by heritage conservation authorities. <\/div>\n
Traditional photovoltaic panels are characterized by a structure that protrudes above the roof surface, which involves visible mounting hardware and wiring. This solution significantly reduces the aesthetics of both the roof itself and the entire building. In addition, the space between the roof and the panels encourages the accumulation of debris such as leaves and dirt.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Integrated panels in the SOLROOF system are lighter than a traditional roof covering with mounted photovoltaic panels. Thanks to this, the solution does not require reinforcing the roof structure, helping avoid additional static and aerodynamic loads while ensuring higher efficiency and aesthetics. The SOLROOF roof can cover not only residential buildings, but also, for example, garages and carports.<\/div>\n
Roofs made with traditional covering and additionally equipped with photovoltaic panels require higher load capacity because this solution is significantly heavier. Therefore, the designer must consider the additional weight of the panels and assess the load-bearing capacity of the roof structure. Additionally, panel installation can negatively affect roof aerodynamics, increasing wind loads.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

This installation requires coordinating the work of at least two teams: a roofing crew and an electrical crew. For new homes or roof replacements, the roof covering must be installed first, and then photovoltaic panels are mounted on special structures that additionally load the roof structure and require perforations in the existing covering, which may affect the roof manufacturer\u2019s warranty.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

With traditional photovoltaics, you have two separate warranties – one for the roof and a second, separate one for the photovoltaic panels. Roof warranties may not be honored after PV installation due to damage to the roof covering (perforation\/installation).\r\n\r\nIf roof components need to be replaced, it is recommended to consult the photovoltaic company, which should remove the PV modules safely and allow the roofing company to carry out service work.

The SOLROOF system eliminates these problems by using fully certified, original MC4 connectors manufactured by a renowned producer. All key components – such as panels, inverter, optimizers, and cables – are fitted with these high-quality connectors to ensure reliability and full electrical compatibility. Professional workmanship of every element guarantees the highest connection quality, translating into trouble-free operation and higher system efficiency. As a result, the risk of damage to the inverter and optimizers is minimized, and the installation is fully safe to use. In addition, the SOLROOF system makes diagnostics and maintenance easier, ensuring durability and performance for many years.<\/div>\n
In traditional photovoltaic systems, installers often forgo ready-made, certified connectors in favor of hand-crimped ones, most often as MC4 substitutes. This approach carries numerous risks, including electrical compatibility issues and a higher likelihood of faulty connections. It can also lead to poor contact, which reduces overall system efficiency and makes fault diagnosis more difficult. As a result, such installations may suffer performance losses, a higher risk of failures, and warranty-claim issues. Moreover, improper connections can cause serious damage to the inverter or panels, negatively affecting the lifespan of the entire installation.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Optimizers from the renowned company SolarEdge increase\r\npanel performance, allowing you to enjoy high and cost-effective electricity yields, regardless of shading or soiling, which in traditional photovoltaic panels reduces the efficiency of the entire installation.<\/div>\n
Photovoltaic panel manufacturers do not provide optimizers as standard, which increase functionality, reliability, safety, and energy production.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

SOLROOF is a complete solution. The entire roof – active (photovoltaic) part, inactive part, flashings and roofing accessories, as well as the gutter system – is manufactured by us. This means SOLROOF roof components<\/b> are perfectly matched and readily available if the system needs replacement parts or expansion.<\/div>\n
Roof components are sourced from different suppliers. They do not declare the origin of the photovoltaic panels. As a result, issues may arise from mismatched products and a lack of dedicated accessories, affecting roof aesthetics, safety, and serviceability. It\u2019s also important to remember that standard panel mounting systems require drilling holes in the roof covering, which creates a risk of leaks and voiding the roof manufacturer\u2019s warranty.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

The SOLROOF brand is backed by BP2 Sp. z o.o. – we have been a renowned manufacturer of steel roofing systems for 30 years. In our facilities within the European Union, we produce FIT VOLT panels on machines and using technologies developed by us.<\/div>\n
Roofs with photovoltaic panels are most often manufactured outside the European Union, e.g., in China, and imported to Poland. Roof components are sourced from different suppliers. As a result, there may be issues with availability and consistency of components.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
