Solar energy is becoming an increasingly popular choice not only for homeowners, but also for architects and designers. Many are searching for sustainable, aesthetic, and architecture-friendly solar solutions that generate clean energy and deliver long-term value.
For years in Europe – including Lithuania – standard solar panels dominated the market, often, and in many cases, disrupting the aesthetics of a homes and buildings.
However, now in Lithuania it is possible to choose a new-generation innovative product – a premium product Laume Roof. It is 2-in-1 roof that combines 2 functions: a durable roofing material with a fully integrated solar power system. Laume Roof offers – elegant design, energy independence, and long-lasting performance.
Still, when the conversation turns to building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), it is natural that the questions and doubts arise.
Below we adress 6 most common questions about solar roof and explain why a Laume roof is the choice of the future.
We invite you to read below.
1. „Can I install this type of roof myself?“
Our solar roof is installed just as easily as a standard roof covering – the only difference is connecting the solar modules (PV) electrical components.
- Every client receives a clear installation manual.
- We consult clients throughout all the process.
- We cooperate with Ruukki roof suppliers, who also advise clients on proper roof installation.
Result – simple and reliable installation, even if the installer has never worked with BIPV before.
2. “Are there any real demo projects?”
We have demo projects in few Lithuania cities alongside our partner and manufacturer Metsolar, where solar modules are integrated not only into roofs, but also facades. These project examples can be seen in other European countries as well, as we widely cooperate with foreign partners.
We do not yet have a Laume Roof project to showcase, because the product is new and there has not yet been an opportunity to demonstrate it directly. We know that a real-life example convinces more that numbers, however, the interest in Laume Roof is rising exponentially. We are planning our first deliveries and installations in a short time, and we are eager to share.
3. “Do you consult clients online only?”
We always combine both – virtual communication and in-person meetings. We communicate with clients throughout all the process, providing all necessary information in writing, verbally, and – in person. Therefore, we communicate not only through emails.
4. “There are cheaper options – why choose you?”
The Laumė solar roof is not a mass-market product, but an innovative premium solution.
- It is dual-purpose technology, with one of its main tasks being to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the building.
- Laume roof is a Lithuanian product. We ensure the highest quality both in the roofing material and in the active PV components, that’s why we use only reliable and thoroughly tested materials.
If clients or distributors are looking for less costly option, we can offer standard solar panels. However, Laume Roof is oriented at a client that values design, durability, and seamless integration, not just the lowest price.
5. “Why haven’t you been visible in Lithuania before?”
We are a niche innovative solar technologies company – for many years- worked with foreign projects, that is why our activity hasn’t been noticed in Lithuania before. We are following an innovation pulse in Europe and Lithuania, therefore we have noticed that recently Lithuanians started to research more about innovative solar technologies. So, it is a perfect time to share our collected expertise and technologies here in Lithuania.
Many of our orders come from recommendations – this is the best indicator of our quality of work and client trust. We are creators of innovation – ready to share our knowledge and technologies in Lithuania, and grow beyond European horizons.
6. “Do you have pre-made products in stock?”
We do not stock Laume Roof, simply because we work on a project-based order system.
- Every project requires individual budget calculation to ensure a precise quantity of product.
- This type of manufacturing principle, in contrast to mass-production, allows us give clients solutions tailored to any object – from modern houses to heritage buildings renovations.
- Aside from Laume Roof, we offer other models of integrated solar roofs – Kovas Tile or Egle Tile. By evaluating your buildings peculiarities, we can provide best tailored solution. Both of these models, just like Laume Roof, are being prepared for manufacturing, therefore will be available in the market soon.
As a result, you get not a standard, one-size-fits-all product from a shelf, but a unique solar roof solution tailored to your building.
Such roofs are the choice of the future. By combining roof covering with an electricity-generating PV system, you gain more than just a roof – you gain a modern, smart and energy-independent solution.
