Price of solar module tiles

How much does a solar roof tile system cost?

To give you an idea, the average 3.5 kW solar roof tile system will cost around £13,000, compared to approximately £7,000 for a regular PV system. However, remember that you are also getting a new roof with your solar tiles, so a direct price comparison is slightly misleading. Information last updated in April 2025.

How do solar tiles work?

Solar tiles are integrated into the roof itself and function as both a roofing substance and a source of energy, as opposed to conventional solar panels, which are mounted on top of an existing roof. Photovoltaic cells in solar tiles turn sunlight into direct current (DC) energy.
