Free yourself from thinking about bills for 30 years
Remember that feeling when you nervously checked if all the lights were off when leaving the house? Or when turning on the air conditioning in the heat was associated with thinking about the bill? With Hombee Roof, this world ceases to exist. Your roof becomes an inexhaustible source of cheap, clean energy. Charge your car, start the dishwasher and air conditioning at the same time. Just live comfortably.
Independence from power outages
When the power goes out for others, your home continues to operate at full capacity, regardless of interruptions in the electricity supply.
Active energy trading
When electricity prices soar, you remain calm. Hombee Roof is the only one that actively trades energy: it buys low and sells high. This is the key to zero bills.
Peace of mind for 30 years
When standard warranties (12 years) expire, your investment is still safe. Hombee means 30 years of product protection and 90% power after 30 years (market standard: 82%).
With energy storage this investment makes sense
In the era of dynamic tariffs, investing in photovoltaics alone no longer makes sense. You produce electricity when it is cheap and buy from the grid when it is expensive. An energy storage system with automatic energy management changes this rule. The system stores energy, then sells it when prices are high and buys when they are low. This is the key to zero bills and true independence.

The difference is in the approach
Our approach is best seen in the technical data. Check and compare.
Components
Photovoltaic modules
EU-made photovoltaic modules in 'glass-glass' N-type technology. They are 7.1 mm thick, providing the highest, 5th class hail resistance. They are covered by a 30-year product and performance warranty (90% power after 30 years).
System
A patented, Swiss system in which photovoltaic modules with a Solrif® frame interlock and overlap like traditional roof tiles, creating a fully integrated and waterproof roof covering.
Membrane and structure
A high-grammage, three-layer roof membrane with high vapor permeability and UV resistance. We always select a variant dedicated to the specific type of roof structure (e.g., for full boarding).
Additional covering and flashings
Non-energy-producing roof elements and all flashings are made of durable, thick aluminum (0.7 mm) instead of a standard, thin steel sheet.
Solar cabling
Safe, double-insulated solar cables (1500 V DC), resistant to UV and ozone. For maximum protection against damage and rodents, the cables are run in an additional stainless steel braid.
Wooden structure
The roof substructure is made exclusively of certified, kiln-dried C24 class structural timber. This guarantees dimensional stability and long-term durability.

Frequently asked questions
Design and project possibilities
Absolutely not. The system allows you to cover only a selected part of the roof with modules, e.g., the one with the best sun exposure. The remaining surfaces can be finished with another material (e.g., Prefa Prefalz or roof tiles), and the connection of both systems is carried out using dedicated, fully sealed, and aesthetic details.
Yes. In addition to the standard, elegant deep black finish, we offer the possibility of coloring the modules in almost any color from the RAL palette. This allows for a perfect match of the roof to the architectural vision and the building's facade, which is impossible with traditional panels.
The system is very flexible and designed for full integration with elements such as roof windows, chimneys, or hatches. It can handle most popular roof shapes. In the case of very complex, multi-pitched geometries, each project is analyzed individually by our engineers.
Technology and performance
Hombee Roof is a fully integrated premium system, not a collection of random components. Key differences include: EU production, a patented Swiss mounting system guaranteeing 100% tightness, the highest 5th class hail resistance, a 30-year product warranty, and higher efficiency thanks to the use of modern N-type cells.
The roof also produces energy in diffuse light, not just in full sun. Thanks to the use of modern N-type silicon cells, which perform much better in various lighting conditions, the system achieves better results throughout the year compared to older P-type technologies.
Thanks to the use of the latest technologies, the system's power is over 220 Wp/m². This is one of the highest parameters on the market. This means that you can produce more free energy from every square meter of the roof, which is crucial for limited roof areas.
Durability and safety
This is guaranteed by the patented, Swiss Solrif® mounting system. The photovoltaic modules, thanks to special frames, interlock and overlap exactly like traditional roof tiles. This creates a uniform, integrated, and fully waterproof roof covering, not just an overlay on the existing covering.
Hombee Roof has the highest, 5th class hail resistance, which means certified resistance to impacts of hailstones with a diameter of up to 50 mm. This is a level of protection far exceeding standard roof coverings, such as ceramic tiles or sheet metal.
The system has the highest fire resistance class BRoof(t1) and class A. In practice, this means that the roof is resistant to external fire, does not contribute to its spread, and is a safe covering for your home, which is crucial in dense development.
Investment and financing
The total investment cost in Hombee Roof is comparable to the cost of building a high-standard roof (e.g., premium ceramic tiles) and purchasing a separate, high-class photovoltaic installation. In return, you get one aesthetically consistent 2-in-1 system with a longer warranty.
The payback period depends on many factors, such as the size of the installation, energy consumption in the home, or electricity prices. Currently, for a typical single-family house, taking into account subsidies, the estimated payback period is from 8 to 12 years.
Yes. From a legal and technical point of view, an integrated solar roof is a photovoltaic installation. Therefore, it is subject to the same subsidy programs as traditional panels, e.g., the "My Electricity" program or the thermomodernization relief.
Service and warranty
The system is covered by comprehensive protection. It includes a warranty for installation and tightness (i.e., a 5-year warranty) and long-term manufacturer warranties for key components. The most important of these is a 30-year product and performance warranty for photovoltaic modules.
The mounting system allows for the replacement of a single module without the need to dismantle a large part of the roof. This is a standard operation, performed by our specialized service teams, which, depending on the location of the module, takes from 1 to 3 hours.
The system is practically maintenance-free. The smooth surface of the glass has self-cleaning properties under the influence of rain. Intervention may be needed sporadically, e.g., to remove lingering leaves on very low-pitched roofs or in locations with high air pollution.
