Aesthetically Functional
The Stratco Solatop provides architects, builders, planners and home owners an innovative solution to integrate solar into their buildings in a functional and more aesthetically pleasing way. This is especially important where the north facing roof also faces the street. An entire roof area or facade can be covered with a Stratco Solatop panelling system, or it can be integrated with all common roof materials, including concrete, terracotta and steel tiles and all steel and aluminium sheet profiles. Importantly, minimal or no changes to conventional structures are required and building tolerances are allowed for, which makes Stratco Solatop ideal for new homes, roof replacements or architecturally designed inspirations.

Innovation by Design
The patent pending Stratco Solatop system incorporates a specially designed framing layout of drainage channels and mounting brackets onto which the Solatop panels are laid, similar to conventional roof tiles, whilst also having the unique ability to be integrated into numerous vertical applications.
Unlike existing retrofit systems, dirt and other leaf litter cannot build up around the external framework, thereby eliminating any potential damage to the solar modules and your roof. Water and debris simply washes off the panels straight into the gutter.
