Autarq draws up a roof laying plan with the solar tile areas marked in a different colour. But this plan is flexible and can largely be adapted to the routine changes made during a building project. The colour plans are used for laying the wiring looms (along the underside of the roof battens). While the wiring looms are being laid, a decision can be made as to how and whether the plans need to be adjusted to reality. After that, no further changes are possible, nor are they necessary. Once the wiring looms have been laid, your employees can see for themselves that the solar tiles are to be fitted everywhere there is a wiring loom.

For the first projects we carry out with you, an Autarq fitter will join you on site. For later projects, you will be able to call him or our hotline.

Yes, although there is a cable and connectors on the back of every solar tile. The solar tile is placed on the roof batten as normal, then the cable is plugged into the wiring loom. Storm clips and bolted connections can be fitted as normal. Although this differs from type to type, the sliding distance can be slightly restricted compared to standard tiles. This is because the tile on the top row cannot overlap the glass panel (solar module) of the tile in the row beneath. It is important to consider this when laying the battens. At very low temperatures (about freezing point), the connectors are a little less elastic and will take a little more force to insert. But there is no risk and they are not more brittle. In these cases, one solution is to use Teflon Spray to make it easier to insert the connectors.

No. This is the unique selling point of Autarq technology. As soon as the wiring loom is laid (and even laying the wiring looms does not require a great deal of electrical engineering skill), the remaining work can be carried out by the roofer. The handover point is the junction box or PV converter (preferably in the loft). All the cables from the roof lead there. The electrician can also arrive later and carry out the work from there (connection to inverter and battery). It is not necessary for the roofer and the electrician to be on site at the same time!

Accurate data is the key to successful planning. This is why we are happy to help you measure your roof if you wish us to. Using state-of-the-art drone technology, we can deliver a high-precision recording of your house or building. These exact measurements provide the perfect basis for the implementation of our solar solutions. Interested? Then contact us.
