Catnic is thrilled to announce that Catnic SolarSeam®, our cutting-edge integrated standing seam roof and solar panel, has been awarded Best Sustainable Technology or Product at the prestigious annual Build It Awards.

As the push for sustainable, low-carbon homes accelerates through legislation like Part L and the Future Homes Standard, and with energy bills on the rise, solar power emerges as one of the simplest and most effective renewable energy solutions. In support of this transition, Catnic SolarSeam offers an innovative, easy-to-install solution that guarantees energy for over 25 years.

Manufactured offsite, Catnic SolarSeam ensures low overall installation costs, saving homeowners money on both building and energy bills. A typical 5065mm panel provides 245Wp of power and blends seamlessly with the roof, maintaining the home's aesthetic appeal.

Product Highlights:

  • Complete Kit: Catnic SolarSeam includes all parts needed for your roof in a single delivery, ensuring technical and aesthetic compatibility.
  • Lightweight and Efficient: At just 3mm thick and weighing less than 3kg/m², our MCS certified CIGS solar panels eliminate the need for secondary support structures, reducing material and installation costs.
  • Innovative Design: Panels are laminated directly to the Catnic Urban standing seam profile, offering numerous benefits over traditional crystalline technology, including reduced risk of leaks, wind load, vandalism, and theft.
  • High Performance: Superior self-cleaning surface minimizes energy loss from debris, while multiple diodes and cell interconnections maximize energy output even when partially shaded.
  • Flexible Application: Suitable for roof pitches as low as 5 degrees, with profile widths of 514mm or 390mm to accommodate various roof lengths.
  • Durability and Assurance: Backed by the Confidex® Home guarantee for the steel roof and performance guarantees from BiPVco so homeowners can have peace of mind regarding the roof's long-term performance.
