Voltaic Solar Roof Tiles, launched in 2024 by Ergosun Holdings, combine high-strength concrete roofing with integrated solar cells to create a durable, hurricane- and fire-rated solar roof that looks like a premium tile roof. With ~19.2% efficiency, a 25-year warranty, and seamless aesthetics, they appeal to homeowners who want clean energy without visible panels.
