Solar Roofing Ontario
Discover a different approach to rooftop solar with ROOFNOW™ and RARE Ironwood e-Panel™. Instead of treating solar as equipment added above an existing roof, integrated solar roofing incorporates photovoltaic technology directly into a premium metal roofing system.
Solar Technology Designed Into the Roof.
Solar roofing combines photovoltaic energy generation with the protective function and architectural appearance of a roofing system.
RARE Ironwood e-Panel™ is engineered to integrate with Ironwood Shake metal roofing, allowing the photovoltaic portion of the system to become part of the roof instead of sitting above it on large racks.
This creates an opportunity to approach roof replacement and renewable-energy planning together.
Solar That Looks Like It Belongs on the Home.
Conventional rooftop solar and integrated solar roofing can achieve similar energy goals, but the way they become part of the home is very different.
Cleaner Roofline
Integrated solar helps maintain the architecture and proportions of the roof without large elevated mounting racks.
Energy Generation
Photovoltaic technology captures sunlight and helps turn the roof into an active energy-producing part of the home.
Permanent Upgrade
Solar roofing can be viewed as part of the permanent building exterior rather than equipment installed over it.
One Project Approach
Homeowners replacing an aging roof can consider roofing and solar at the same stage of planning.
Solar Roofing vs. Rack-Mounted Solar Panels.
Rack-Mounted Panels
Ironwood e-Panel™
Integrated Solar Built Around Ironwood Shake.
Ironwood e-Panel™ is a photovoltaic roof panel developed to integrate directly into the RARE Ironwood Shake roofing system.
Designed to integrate with the surrounding Ironwood Shake roofing system.
Intended for eligible Ironwood Shake roof configurations meeting minimum slope requirements.
Electrical connections are positioned beneath the panel surface for added protection.
High-efficiency monocrystalline silicon cells generate renewable electricity from sunlight.
Solar Roofing Has Two Jobs to Do.
An integrated solar roof needs to help generate energy, but it also sits on one of the most exposed surfaces of the home.
Roofing design, water management, fastening, exterior exposure and long-term performance remain important considerations when solar becomes part of the roof itself.
Generate
Capture sunlight and convert it into renewable electrical energy.
Protect
Function as part of the exterior roofing system protecting the building.
Integrate
Work with surrounding roofing instead of sitting above it.
Complement
Preserve the architectural appearance and roofline of the property.

More Than Solar. More Than a New Roof.
Integrated solar roofing allows homeowners to consider the building envelope and renewable-energy system together rather than treating them as unrelated projects.
Permanent Home Improvement
Solar becomes integrated into a durable roofing system rather than appearing as temporary equipment mounted over the finished roof.
Architectural Curb Appeal
The lower-profile approach helps preserve the exterior design and appearance of the home.
Roofing + Renewable Energy
Homeowners can improve the roof while simultaneously adding energy-generation capability to the property.

Replacing Your Roof?
Roof replacement can be an ideal time to determine whether solar should become part of the new roofing system.
ROOFNOW™ can help review the roof configuration, approximate size, slope, existing materials and your goals for integrated solar.
From Research To Solar Roof Planning.
Tell Us About Your Home
Submit the property address, current roofing material and your interest in integrated solar roofing.
Review the Roof
Roof configuration, approximate dimensions, slope and existing conditions can be reviewed.
Explore the System
Review Ironwood Shake, e-Panel™ and the integrated solar approach for the property.
Build the Project Scope
Roofing and solar requirements can then be developed around the home’s actual configuration.
