The sustainable alternative to roof tiles.

Solrif is the patented Photovoltaic in-roof system from Schweizer that seamlessly integrates with pitched roofs of any standard pitch. It produces environmentally friendly electricity and at the same time contributes to increasing the value of properties.

Solrif transforms a frameless standard photovoltaic module into a solar tile for sloping roofs with any conventional incline, replacing the classic tile covering on pitched roofs. . The modular system can be installed rapidly and with ease and is suitable for both complete and partial roof integration, including on listed buildings.

Building owners and investors receive a sustainable and economical roof solution that is characterised by high efficiency and short amortisation times.

The range encompasses connection solutions for roof windows or skylights, dormers, chimneys and other obstacles. Dummy modules can also be provided for appropriate adaptation to roof conditions.

Photovoltaic in-roof system Solrif – the advantages at a glance

There are hardly any limits to the architectural design freedom offered by the system. Solrif fits in, as a completely integrated and high-quality solar roof, with any kind of building or village backdrop – from ultra-modern buildings to historic monuments.

The system is available with a large variety of different solar modules from leading European manufacturers.
Solrif can be used for all pitched roofs, with flexible layout and application thanks to the different sizes.

Solrif is suitable for full or partial roof solutions in all common pitches.

Obstacles such as skylights or chimneys can be taken into account and challenging connection situations can be resolved using blind modules.

Thanks to its modular, tile-like structure, Solrif guarantees speedy and simple installation. Individual modules can be detached at any point of the roof and can be replaced as required. The clever modular system makes installation simple and highly efficient – up to 20 modules per hour can be laid.
Solrif has a lower CO2 footprint compared to rooftop PV systems and impresses with a short energy and ecological payback period. The solar roof pays for itself in eight to ten years.

The special design of the profiles also favours self-cleaning by rainwater and the slipping off of snow – the Solrif modules can thus always produce the maximum of electricity.

Thanks to the free glass edge on the underside of the module and good self-cleaning properties, there is no need for maintenance.
With Solrif, Schweizer has been the global market leader for roof-integrated PV solutions for over 20 years, with over 100,000 roofs installed.

We rely on proven quality: aluminium instead of plastic, patented and certified. The high-quality materials guarantee the durability of the installed systems.
The web-based Solar.Pro.Tool planning software enables simple planning. It calculates all the information required to optimise the design of the system in no time at all. The documentation includes the static calculation, parts lists and the installation plans, including the ballasting plan.

An integrated tool based on Polysun is available for the electrical design and yield simulation.
