CENTRIA Introduces SolarCrest™ Solar Roofing

Moon Township, PA - CENTRIA introduces SolarCrest™, a line of superior solar roof systems that will help reduce building costs and increase the value of the finished structure over time. Ultimately, SolarCrest is designed to aid in sustaining and protecting the environment by providing a highly effective and efficient renewable energy source.

“SolarCrest provides 20 percent more energy production (kWhr) per rated output than polycrystalline silicon panels by using a thin-film Building Integrated Photovaltaic (BIPV) technology to an already exceptionally engineered roof system,” said Julie Pawuk, marketing communications manager for CENTRIA.

SolarCrest roof panels are manufactured using CENTRIA’s Versapanel® foam composite roof panels, which provide a complete roofing system including superior thermal insulation, weatherproofing and an air and vapor barrier. SolarCrest is also available on CENTRIA’s standing seam roof panels.

Because of its thin film technology and integrated design, SolarCrest is lightweight for easy installation and helps to reduce building and labor costs because on-site assembly is not required. SolarCrest is also highly durable, helping it stand up to foot traffic, and is backed by a 20-year guarantee.

As a sustainability leader, CENTRIA has taken an active role in the development of new and innovative ways to reduce the impact of the built environment’s footprint on the natural environment. However, the company has not sacrificed its commitment to developing aesthetically appealing, high performance products as well. Through a unique partnership with EnergyPeak™, SolarCrest’s innovative design, durability and flexibility add even more breadth and depth to CENTRIA’s already dynamic and distinctive portfolio of sustainable products.
