Product description

The Autarq Solar Roof Tile System revolutionizes the integration of renewable energy into traditional roof designs by converting clay roof tiles into solar-generating units. Each tile features a slim photovoltaic module and a patent-protected cable harness, allowing roofers to install them just like regular tiles without the need for electricians. The system operates at a safe extra-low voltage in parallel circuitry, eliminating the need for rooftop electronics like optimizers or micro-inverters.

With a 25-year performance warranty, the solar tiles maintain at least 80% of rated output even under shading conditions. The modular structure of the system makes it ideal for roofs with complex geometries, such as dormers, curved profiles, or heritage buildings. Produced in in-house microfactories in Germany, the system is fully recyclable and climate-conscious, aligning with sustainable practices.

Autarq provides a digital configuration tool and training programs for installers, making it accessible to homeowners, architects, and roofing trades. The system complies with EU building codes and solar energy standards, supporting rooftop decarbonization without requiring changes to construction or design practices.

About the Company

Autarq GmbH is a German climate-tech company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Prenzlau, Brandenburg. Specializing in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), Autarq transforms standard roof tiles into solar roof tiles by bonding miniature photovoltaic modules and a patented wiring harness to conventional clay tiles. This plug-and-play system enables installation by roofers without prior electrical training, making solar power accessible without compromising aesthetics or craftsmanship. Autarq's solar tiles are manufactured in Europe and fit seamlessly into historic and complex roofs. With over 50,000 roofs installed using their technology and partnerships with European tile manufacturers like Creaton and Jacobi‑Walther, Autarq supports energy transition in residential and commercial buildings. The company runs semi‑automated microfactories and offers installer training via its Autarq Academy. Autarq's mission is to democratize solar energy by making it beautiful, safe, and widely deployable across Europe.
