The Arka PowerRoof and PowerGazebo offerings feature glass-on-glass solar tiles built with advanced shingling technology. They are mounted on custom interlocking brackets.
Arka solar tiles are tested and approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to the IEC 60215 standard. These can withstand wind speeds of up to 160 km per hour. The Arka PowerRoof can be installed on a concrete roof facet or a hoisted metal truss. It offers a stylish integrated solar roof with a jet-black glass finish. It will soon be available in other conventional roofing tile colors, like terracotta.
