The impact of reflective roofing colours on Solar Energy  Gain

Solar UK teamed up with Renolit UK Ltd, manufacturers of the Alkorplan roofing membrane, for a trial showing that its solar panels work 9% more efficiently!

Solar UK spent two months testing the performance of the LaZer2 vacuum tube collectors on traditional grey roofing membrane, with an identical set on the new Alkorbright membrane in the white reflective version.
