A Practical Solar Roofing Solution for buildings designed to reduce or eliminate electrical energy usage through the harvest of clean, renewable solar energy that’s returned to the power grid

Interlock Roofing Ltd. announces the Interlock® Solar Roofing System. This system provides building owners, homeowners and architects a best-of-breed Interlock Roofing Ltd. standing seam roofing system that can cost-efficiently generate renewable energy for decades.

A central feature of Interlock Solar Roofing System is the building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology. This state-of-the-art, thin-film solar laminate is a lightweight and highly flexible material that integrates onto the surface of Interlock Roofing Ltd’s standing seam panels. When exposed to sunlight, these solar laminates produce electricity, even in low temperatures and cloudy environments. Electricity generated by the photovoltaic panels is fed back through the electrical meter onto the power grid.

The enhanced efficiency of United Solar Ovonic’s UNI-SOLAR® photovoltaic technology, combined with ever increasing government incentives, tax credits and renewable energy credits, results in a lower initial cost and impressive returns on investment depending on your jurisdiction. The solar-integrated system comes with a 20-year warranty. For more information on the Interlock® Solar Roofing System log on to www.interlockroofing.com/solar

“As a manufacturer of a fully integrated photovoltaic system, Interlock Roofing Ltd. demonstrates our continued commitment to not only offering the latest in sustainable technology, but also to the environment we live in,” explains Mark Wenzel, President, Interlock Roofing Ltd. “With the rise in energy costs and environmental issues created by traditional sources of energy, we wanted to fill the need for a quality, affordable, sustainable source of renewable green energy that fits well with our proven standing seam roofing system.”

About Interlock Roofing Ltd.

Interlock Roofing Ltd. is one of North America’s leading manufacturers of Energy Star® rated aluminum lifetime metal roofing products. Profiles include Shingle, Shake, Tile, Slate, and Standing Seam Panel. Many designer colors are available. Studies have shown that Energy Star® compliant homes utilizing metal roofing systems having “cool roof” technology are much cooler in the summer, and therefore can reduce air conditioning costs by up to 40%, depending on geographic location.

Aluminum does not have the limitations of many other conventional roofing materials, which can rot, split, crack, require frequent replacement, and are disposed of in our landfills. Interlock® Aluminum Roofing is made from recycled and recyclable materials, and is therefore an environmentally sustainable roofing choice.
“Interlock” refers to the manner in which the standing seam roofing panels and the Slate and Shingle profiles are installed. This design method locks the panels or shingles together to form an extremely strong roofing system that resists all kinds of extreme weather conditions, including high winds, ultraviolet exposure, driving snow, and heavy rains.
