Make solar panels from clay
Italian company Dyaqua has developed a way to produce solar panels so that they resemble the barrel clay tiles common on the roofs of buildings in Italy.

Some solar installers like to use a technique called a “comp-out” to more easily install solar on clay tile roofs. This technique involves removing all the clay tiles under the area where your solar panels will go, installing composite shingles in this area, and then plopping in traditional solar roof mounts, rails, and panels in that location.
Solar panels should be securely attached to the roof to withstand wind and weather. A skilled installer will ensure your mounting system is designed for clay tile roofs. Next, roof angle is essential. To optimize solar energy production, panels must be positioned at an optimal angle.
You can put solar panels on a clay tile roof, but the type of tile matters. Smooth tiles are best, as they provide a flat surface for the panels to lie flush against. If the tiles are cracked or damaged, it’s best to repair them before installing the panels.
I nstalling solar panels on a clay tile roof involves unique challenges and considerations that differ from other roof types. This guide covers everything you need to know, from assessing the suitability of your roof to selecting the right mounting system, ensuring a secure and efficient installation.
