SRS Energy introduces the Solé Power tile, a solar energy roofing tile for commercial projects. The building-integrated photovoltaic roofing tile generates electricity using thin-film solar technology. Tiles are barrel-style and designed for curved roofing systems. They are 37.4 inches wide and 18 inches long, resulting in 30 tiles per 100 square feet, with a 3-inch lap. Each 100-square-foot section of tile weighs 240 pounds and generates 500 watts. Products are backed by a full warranty.

Met-Tile Inc. has released its new “cool roof” line, which combines weather protection with energy efficiency.

Combining the look of tile with the functionality of metal, the product line uses an architectural coating system that provides solar reflectivity, allowing roof surfaces to stay cooler longer. Due to the product’s cooling properties, roofing surfaces should be less subject to chemical and atmospheric degradation, according to the company. The product line carries a 230+ mph wind rating and Class 4 rating for impact resistance.
