Solis Roof Tile

Solis Roof Tile is a concept for architectural photovoltaic roofing — solar technology integrated directly into slate roof tiles rather than panels mounted on top of a roof. The pitch is squarely aesthetic as well as technical: no visible mounting hardware, no panel array breaking up the roofline.

Solar products usually sell on numbers (output, payback period). An architectural product like this needs to sell on both performance *and* how a building actually looks — a harder story to tell with sliders and copy alone.

Present a construction material with the same rigor as its datasheet, so specifiers and architects could evaluate it without contacting sales first.

I paired a side-by-side comparison of a conventional panel array against an integrated Solis roof with an exploded roof-layer visualization (surface, photovoltaic element, structural layer, wiring), then backed both with a genuine solar output and ROI estimator so the architectural pitch is followed immediately by a concrete numbers-based one.

A warm, architectural palette (deep charcoal roofline against a dawn-toned sky gradient) and serif display type that reads more like a design studio than a solar sales site, reinforcing that this is positioned as architecture first.

Built with semantic HTML5, modular CSS and vanilla JavaScript. The ROI estimator uses a disclosed, simplified model (usable area × coverage × assumed efficiency × a configurable sun-hours factor) and is explicit that it isn't connected to a live solar-irradiation dataset.

A solar-architecture concept that leads with genuine visual comparison and an exploded-layer diagram rather than abstract claims, backed by a transparently-modeled ROI estimator rather than a black-box number.

Physical products sold through a screen need the screen to behave like a specification sheet first and a brochure second.
