Description

Solar-Rib is New Zealand’s only roofing profile that is specifically designed to generate electric power through the use of Photovoltaic Laminate (PVL) solar panel technology.

An attractive profile offering elegant looks, Solar-Rib can be installed without the PVL, with the laminate being added onto the profile at a later time if desired. Solar-Rib represents a progressive product, paying for itself in the long run and is an ideal way to combat increasing energy prices by taking advantage of nature's most renewable source of energy — the sun.
