Future of Solar Roofing Technology Ontario | Clarkson
The future of solar roofing is moving toward closer integration between the building envelope and energy generation. For Clarkson, RARE Ironwood e-Panel™ represents one roof-integrated approach using Ironwood Shake metal roofing.
Solar technology designed into the metal roof.
The future of solar roofing is increasingly integrated.
Future-focused does not mean ignoring roofing fundamentals. Every Clarkson system still needs proper weather protection, drainage, flashing, electrical design and installation quality.

Future of Solar Roofing Technology Ontario | Clarkson: FAQ
What does the future of solar roofing look like for Clarkson homeowners?
One major direction is greater integration between photovoltaic generation and the roof surface, including building-integrated and roof-integrated solar systems.
Is Ironwood e-Panel™ a conventional rack-mounted solar system?
No. Ironwood e-Panel™ is designed to integrate photovoltaic technology with the RARE Ironwood Shake roofing system rather than sit on a separate rack above the roof.
Can integrated solar be considered during roof replacement?
Yes. Reroofing or new construction can be a logical time to compare roof-integrated solar because roofing and solar layout can be planned together.
