FP McCann and SolarTyle Forge a Powerful Alliance to Redefine Sustainable Roofing in the UK
In a landmark move set to reshape the future of residential construction, precast concrete giant FP McCann has announced a strategic partnership with SolarTyle, a pioneer in integrated solar roof tile technology. This collaboration will deliver the UK’s first efficient and cost-effective solar roof, seamlessly integrating SolarTyle’s innovative system with FP McCann’s renowned Thin Flat and Thin Flat Duo concrete roof tiles. The partnership arrives at a pivotal moment for the UK housing market, with the government’s Future Homes Standard set to mandate solar panels on most new homes from 2027. This forward- thinking alliance places FP McCann and SolarTyle at the forefront of this transition, offering developers a streamlined, aesthetically superior, high-performance solution to meet and exceed these new sustainability requirements. For years, homeowners and developers
have had to compromise between the proven durability of traditional roofing materials and the environmental benefits of often-obtrusive solar panels. The FP McCann and SolarTyle partnership eliminates this compromise. The system integrates directly with standard roof battens, allowing rapid installation with the same simplicity as a conventional tiled roof. The result is a seamless, weather-tight, visually stunning roof that generates clean energy without sacrificing architectural integrity.
“This partnership is about more than just a new product; it’s about reimagining the roof itself,” says Jonathan Pratt for FP McCann. “We combine our 70 years of expertise in producing high-quality, durable roofing materials with SolarTyle’s cutting-edge solar technology. The result is a roof that is not only built to last but also built to power the future.” Available in various colours, including Anthracite and Red, the SolarTyle system is designed to match FP McCann’s existing tile range perfectly, ensuring a flawless finish for any property, from modern urban developments to traditional rural homes. This attention to aesthetic detail and the system’s high-yield energy output set a new standard for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in the UK. Beyond the visual appeal, the partnership
delivers tangible benefits for developers. The system is MCS-certified and backed by a 15-year warranty, providing long-term peace of mind.
It simplifies the procurement process by offering a single-source solution for both roofing and solar, and it significantly elevates the sustainability credentials of any new development, a key selling point in today’s environmentally conscious market. Anthony Crespi, Co-Founder and Director
at SolarTyle adds: “For the first time, an integrated solar tile system can compete on price with the UK’s leading in-roof PV solutions. Our technology utilises more roof area, maximising energy generation and providing greater design flexibility. We are thrilled to partner with a trusted name like FP McCann to bring this game-changing solution to a nationwide audience.” As the UK construction industry prepares
for a greener future, the collaboration between FP McCann and SolarTyle is a beacon of innovation. By delivering a solution that is at once practical, affordable, and beautiful, they are not just building roofs; they are building the sustainable homes of tomorrow.
