Switching to solar energy is no longer just a trend; it’s a movement towards cleaner, renewable energy sources. Sandtoft, a leading tile and roof accessories manufacturer, is now offering Solar PV solutions, supported by a range of training options for roofing contractors. This training aims to equip professionals with the skills they need to thrive in the growing solar market.

A year ago, Sandtoft launched its in-roof solar panels, and they’ve been a hit ever since. These panels are designed to interlock and fix directly onto roof battens, blending seamlessly with traditional clay and concrete tiles. Weighing just 8.95 kg each, they’re lightweight and cost-effective to install. Plus, they come as part of a complete roofing package that includes inverters and batteries, making it easy to integrate solar technology into any roof.

While having the right products is crucial, ensuring roofing contractors are confident in specifying and installing solar solutions can be a challenge. The ongoing challenges the construction industry faces with the ever-growing skills gap cannot be underestimated. That’s why Sandtoft are focusing on upskilling existing roofing professionals through targeted product training.
