Although many homes in Lithuania are still covered with asbestos slate, residents are increasingly looking for alternatives and discovering smart, sustainable solutions. One such solution is solar modules installed in place of conventional roofing>. This is not only aesthetic and functional but also cost-effective.
Solar Energy: A Solution That Delivers Benefits
Rima, from the Kėdainiai district, began researching integrated solar modules while planning a home renovation. It was important to her that the modules were manufactured in Lithuania or Europe, that the solution maximized the use of renewable energy, and that it was financially sound with an attractive price point. After considering all criteria, she chose the Lithuanian-made "SOLID Solrif" modules.
After a year and a half, she is delighted with the decision: the solar modules have perfectly met the family's electricity needs—which are especially significant when owning an electric vehicle—and rising electricity prices have only further reinforced the value of her choice.
An Aesthetic, Reliable, and Durable Roofing Alternative
"SOLID Solrif" modules stand out because they are installed directly in place of roofing material, interlocking with each other like tiles. Beyond aesthetics and functionality, they are characterized by extremely high hail resistance—the "SOLID Solrif D" solar panel with double 3.2 mm glass can withstand hail up to 50 mm in diameter and is currently the most resilient in "SoliTek" history.
This solution is also ideal for roofs with complex shapes, semi-detached houses, or buildings with many chimneys. The modules can be combined with other roofing materials, so it is not mandatory to replace the entire roof at once.
You can’t even tell it’s a solar power plant
Rima notes that neighbors often don't even realize these are solar modules rather than standard roofing. "If you are building a new house or planning to replace an old roof, this solution is well worth considering," she advises.

"Hail Class 5" resistance certificate: Withstands hailstones up to 5 cm in size.
