RARE INTEGRATED SOLAR ROOFING

Ironwood e-Panel™ Solar Roofing

THE SOLAR PANEL IS PART OF THE ROOF.

The Ironwood e-Panel™ is a photovoltaic roof shingle engineered to integrate seamlessly with the RARE Ironwood Shake roofing system. High-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells capture the sun’s energy while maintaining the appearance and protection of a premium metal roof.

Instead of installing a traditional rack-mounted solar system on top of the roof, Ironwood e-Panels™ are incorporated directly into the roofing system to create a seamless, durable and practically undetectable solar surface.

WHY INTEGRATED SOLAR MATTERS

Two Major Home Upgrades. One Roofing System.

Traditional rack-mounted solar panels are often viewed as equipment installed on top of a roof. Ironwood e-Panels™ take a different approach by integrating renewable-energy technology directly into the RARE Ironwood Shake roofing system.

 

A Permanent Home Upgrade

Integrated solar becomes part of the roofing system instead of temporary equipment mounted over the roof surface.

 

Cleaner Curb Appeal

The low-profile integrated design helps preserve the architectural appearance of the Ironwood Shake roof without bulky mounting racks.

 

Renewable Electricity

High-efficiency monocrystalline solar cells capture sunlight and convert it into clean renewable electricity.

 

Roof + Energy System

Homeowners and future buyers see both a durable metal roof and an integrated energy system — two substantial upgrades working together.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO SOLAR

Integrated Solar vs. Rack-Mounted Panels

TRADITIONAL SOLAR

Rack-Mounted Panels

× Mounted above the existing roof
× Visible racks and mounting hardware
× Solar system and roof remain separate
× Can visually dominate the roofline

Integrated Solar Roofing

✓ Integrated directly into Ironwood Shake
✓ Hidden-fastener interlocking design
✓ Roof and solar function as one system
✓ Clean, low-profile architectural appearance
RARE IRONWOOD e-PANEL™ SOLAR ROOFING
A ROOF THAT PROTECTS YOUR HOME. AND HELPS POWER IT.

Durable metal roofing and renewable solar energy integrated into one seamless roofing system.

ENGINEERED AS ONE COMPLETE SYSTEM

Solar Technology Designed Into the Roof.

Ironwood e-Panels™ are not conventional solar modules placed over finished roofing. They are engineered to integrate directly with RARE Ironwood Shake panels, allowing the roofing and solar components to work together as one clean, interlocking exterior system.

Built Into the Roof.
01

Seamless Integration

The e-Panel™ is designed specifically to complement Ironwood Shake roofing, creating a low-profile appearance that blends naturally into the surrounding metal roof.

02

Interlocking Construction

Each panel integrates into the surrounding roofing system using an interlocking design and hidden fasteners, helping maintain the clean architectural appearance of the roof.

03

Protected Electrical Connections

Electrical connections are safely positioned on the underside of the solar panels, protecting critical components from direct exposure to rain, snow, wind and outside elements.

04

Built for Ironwood Shake

Ironwood e-Panels™ can complement new or currently installed Ironwood Shake roofing systems where roof slopes meet the required minimum of 3/12.

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DESIGN

Your solar system should not look like an afterthought.

By integrating solar directly into a permanent metal roofing system, Ironwood e-Panel™ creates a finished roof that combines protection, renewable energy and architectural curb appeal.

 
MORE THAN SOLAR

A Permanent Roof Upgrade. With Energy Built In.

Traditional solar is typically installed as separate equipment over an existing roof. Ironwood e-Panel™ takes a completely different approach. The solar technology integrates directly into the Ironwood Shake roofing system, allowing homeowners to upgrade both their roof and their energy system at the same time.

The result is a cleaner architectural appearance without the bulky look of conventional rack-mounted solar panels. From the street, the system maintains the premium appearance of a metal shake roof while generating renewable electricity from sunlight.

BUILT-IN VALUE

Buyers See More Than Solar. They See a Better Roof.

When solar is seamlessly incorporated into a durable metal roof, homeowners are not simply adding electrical equipment to their property. They are combining a long-lasting roofing system with renewable-energy technology.

That distinction matters. It creates the appearance of a permanent home improvement rather than temporary equipment attached to the roof.

PERFORMANCE BY DESIGN

Integrated solar technology backed by a roofing-first approach.

BUILT BEYOND THE LOOK

Solar Roofing Has to Do More Than Generate Power.

A roof is one of the most exposed systems on a home. That means integrated solar cannot be designed as an electrical product alone. It has to function within a roofing environment where water, temperature changes, snow, wind and long-term exterior exposure are part of everyday performance.

Ironwood e-Panel™ was developed around that reality. Its photovoltaic technology is incorporated into a roofing system designed to protect the home while keeping critical electrical connections sheltered beneath the exterior surface.

 
01

Roofing-First Engineering

The system is developed around the realities of an exterior roofing environment rather than simply adapting conventional rooftop solar hardware.

 
02

Protected Components

Electrical connections are positioned on the underside of the e-Panel™, helping shield critical components from direct exposure to outside conditions.

 
03

Made for Exterior Exposure

Integrated roofing components are designed with long-term exterior exposure in mind, where changing Canadian weather conditions are part of the operating environment.

 
04

Tested for Long-Term Use

The Ironwood e-Panel™ system has undergone UL testing and approval as part of its development for dependable long-term solar roofing applications.

ENGINEERING CONFIDENCE

Tested Solar Technology. Integrated Roofing Intelligence.

✓
UL Tested & Approved Third-party testing helps validate the system for its intended roofing application.
✓
Connections Beneath the Surface Electrical components are kept away from direct exterior exposure.
✓
Purpose-Built Integration Solar and roofing components are designed to function together.
01
RARE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Start with the roof. Then engineer the solar into it.

That approach changes everything. Instead of asking how solar equipment can be attached to a completed roof, the Ironwood e-Panel™ system begins with the roofing system itself and incorporates energy generation into the architecture.

BUILT AS ROOFING. ENGINEERED FOR ENERGY. Technology above your home should be built to protect it.
