Solar That Respects Your Design

The Problem

Most Solar Ruins Great Design.

Solarislate was built to protect it.

The Problem Architects Don't Say Out Loud

You want energy-positive buildings. Your clients want solar. But traditional solar destroys rooflines, proportions, and design intent.

So you end up choosing between:

Visual integrity
Code headaches
Client disappointment

Or you quietly avoid solar altogether.

Until now.

The Solution

Half-Roof. Half-Solar.
Fully Intentional.

Solarislate is a UL 7103-certified BIPV roof system that lets you specify solar only where it makes architectural and performance sense.

Design Freedom

You decide which roof planes generate energy and which remain traditional—without visual penalties.

Partial Coverage

Solar where it performs. Roofing where it doesn't. No full-roof mandate. No forced symmetry.

Flush Integration

No standoffs. No exposed hardware. Solar sits in-plane, aligned with roof courses.

Code-Ready

UL 7103 BIPV certified. Approved for partial in-roof installations. Permitting docs provided.

The Offer

The Architect Starter Kit

Built specifically for architects. FREE for qualified firms.

$4,500+ value — yours at no cost

Architect-Specific Detail Pack

Roof sections, transitions, and edge conditions for partial solar roofs.

Spec Language You Can Drop In

Clean, AHJ-friendly descriptions for drawings and schedules.

Half-Roof / Half-Solar Guide

When to specify solar, when not to—from both performance and aesthetic perspectives.

Pre-Design Feasibility Review

We'll review one of your projects and advise before you finalize the roof. (Optional)

Direct Technical Access

No sales reps. Direct access to the people who know the system inside and out.

This Is For Architects Who:

  • Care deeply about rooflines and proportion
  • Design modern, custom, or design-forward homes
  • Want solar as an option—not an obligation
  • Are tired of explaining why traditional solar won't work

This Is NOT For:

  • Value-engineered tract housing
  • Rack-mounted solar retrofits
  • Projects where design integrity is secondary

Why We're Doing This

Architects influence the roof before solar is discussed.

We believe solar should serve architecture—not fight it.

That's why we built Solarislate as a roofing system first, and a solar system second.

Common Questions

Can I specify solar on only part of the roof?
Yes. Solarislate is specifically designed for partial roof coverage. You decide which roof planes generate energy and which remain traditional roofing—without visual penalties or awkward transitions.
How does Solarislate differ from traditional solar panels?
Traditional solar uses racks and rails that sit above the roof plane, disrupting rooflines and visual proportions. Solarislate is building-integrated—it sits flush in-plane with the roof courses, eliminating standoffs and exposed hardware.
Is Solarislate code-compliant for partial installations?
Yes. Solarislate is UL 7103 certified as a BIPV system and approved for partial in-roof installations. We provide permitting language and documentation to streamline the approval process with local authorities.
What's included in the Architect Starter Kit?
The kit includes architect-specific detail drawings (roof sections, transitions, edge conditions), spec language for drawings and schedules, a half-roof/half-solar design guide, optional pre-design feasibility review, and direct technical access—no sales reps.
