Solar Tile Roof Installation Instructions
A solar tile roof performs exactly as well as it’s installed. Even the best-engineered solar roof system will underperform or fail early if it isn’t installed to the manufacturer’s exact specifications. That’s why Solar Tile Roof (STR) requires every installer, whether an STR crew or an independent contractor, to follow the written installation instructions and video guides below for the specific tile product going on the roof, with no exceptions.
Below you’ll find the official manufacturer instructions for each STR solar tile roof and non-solar tile product, along with the national trade standards STR recommends for freeze-thaw performance and extreme-weather installation.

Always install using the manufacturer’s written instructions and video guide for the specific product on the project. These documents cover fastening patterns, underlayment, flashing details, and the electrical integration steps unique to a solar roof system.
