Solar Slate wins Build-It Award for Best Sustainable Technology

Solar Slate Ltd, an expert in solar roof slates (also known as solar roof tiles), has scooped a coveted Build-It Award for its innovative Solar Slate Multi product.

The Build-It Awards ceremony – which was held at the Swindon Hilton hotel on 23rd October 2014 – brought together architects, manufacturers and suppliers in a celebration of the best products and technologies in the industry of self-build and renovation.

Solar Slate Multi, an affordable option for solar energy roof tiles, received an overwhelming vote in its favour in the Best Sustainable Technology or Product category, fending off competition from Dimplex, EcoStrata and Surface Power HONE.

While only a few years ago, integrated solar roof tiles and slates were reserved for a select few, products such as Solar Slate Multi have gained traction in the market, bringing solar PV to a wider range of homeowners.

The Build-It award win emphasises the technology’s importance in the self-build industry, and Solar Slate received a fantastic response at the awards ceremony. As a small team, Solar Slate is proud to successfully compete with much larger companies in the industry and help in bringing ‘solar tile’ roof slates to self-builders nationwide.

The Build-It awards were an extremely positive experience all round, and we are now looking forward to working with some of our fellow prize-winners on future projects.
