We are delighted to announce a new partnership between Westech Solar and Wienerberger, the Global market leader for clay roof tiles and the UK’s leading provider of wall, roof and landscaping innovations.
Our team looks forward to working with Wienerberger to integrate solar into new build and RMI sectors, improving energy efficiency of homes, old and new across the UK, making homes less dependent on the grid and contributing towards the targets to reach net zero.
Sandtoft In-Roof Solar will help housebuilders to meet the requirements of the existing Part L legislation, and additionally meet the requirements of the Future Homes Standard, with all new properties being built with 75% less carbon compared to existing regulations, and needing to achieve a significant uplift to energy efficiency.
In-roof Solar is an aesthetic solution with quicker and easier installation than ever before. Even more attractive to future homeowners and tenants is access to a low-maintenance, greener and more cost-efficient energy source.
Keith Barker, Managing Director of Wienerberger UK and Ireland, said: “This is a huge step for us as we boost our support to housebuilders, helping the sector to prepare for a net zero future. Building regulations and the Future Homes Standard lead to homes which can generate and store their own energy – Solar is an easy way to achieve this. As a sustainable manufacturer, we are committed for innovating for the future and this means developing new customer offerings that reduce our impact on the planet.”
Jenny Chen, Director of Westech Solar, added: “We’re honoured to work in partnership with Wienerberger, a company that shares our values and vision for cleaner, greener, high-quality homes and buildings. It’s a milestone in our company’s history, and we couldn’t be any more appreciative and proud to work with such a distinguished partner.”
