Challenge: aesthetic sustainability

The MATCH Slate Creek Granite solar roof offers an ideal solution for energy-efficient roofing in Switzerland. Based on traditional Alpine roof shapes, the system consists of frameless double-glazed modules that are discreetly mounted on the roof structure. This invisible mounting method ensures a harmonious connection to the roof shingle, making the solar roof hardly distinguishable from a classic tiled roof. This innovative roof-integrated photovoltaic system was used, for example, to modernise the Church of the Sacred Heart in Saas-Fee, without detracting from its historic character.

Mat design

The satinised surface of MATCH Slate Creek Granite is glare- and reflection-free. This also ensures the authentic appearance of a classic roof shingle. When laid on the roof, this look blends in harmoniously with the surrounding shingle roofs. The module also impresses as a facade with its natural look.
