3 GENERAL PROVISIONS AND OVERVIEW
This manual contains information about the installation
and correct handling of the SOLAR FLAT-5XL
ceramic roof tile model photovoltaic modules made
by Tejas Borja S.A.U.
Installers must read and understand the contents of
this manual before beginning installation.
If in any doubt, please send a message to Tejas Borja
Technical Support by emailing [email protected]
to ask for more information.
When installing the SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic
roof tile, installers must use all the safety measures
detailed in this manual as well as complying with
all local rules and regulations whether mandated by
law or official bodies.
Before installing a solar photovoltaic system,
installers must be familiar with its mechanical and
electrical requirements. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference.
The specifications in this manual are subject to
change without notice. Always consult the latest
version on the Tejas Borja website at tejasborja.com.
The real images included in this document represent
the product and give the closest reflection of its
real physical appearance. However, Tejas Borja
recommends in-person viewing of product samples
through its distributors and sales network.
Tejas Borja’s solar photovoltaic energy solutions can
be adapted to meet the specific energy generation
requirements of each project and cut electricity
bills while helping to reduce our carbon footprint
by providing an alternative, environmentally-friendly
way to generate electricity.
The choice of material for the roof tiles is crucial
to guarantee the durability, protection and energy
efficiency of the property, and nor should the importance
of the roof’s aesthetic appearance be overlooked.
To combine efficiency and style, Tejas Borja’s solar
solutions are integrated into the ceramic roofing
tiles so they impact the original project design as
little as possible.
The products in our SOLAR range and our ceramic
tiles must always be installed using dry installation
systems and connectors which meet international
standards to guarantee optimal safety and the maximum
watertightness and durability of the roof.
This manual provides basic information about
the SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof tile.
Tejas Borja will not be liable for any damages, losses,
costs or legal liability arising from the use of other
equipment or components, incorrect installation,
mounting, operation, application and maintenance
which is not under the control of Tejas Borja.

3.1 SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof tile
The SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof tile has
been designed to integrate perfectly into the roof.
SOLAR SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof tile tiles
are the only large ceramic tiles with an integrated
solar energy system. They are ideal for providing
a reliable supply of solar energy. Thanks to the
integration of the solar panel into the tile, the
tiles provide all the benefits of a roof made from
ceramic tiles in terms of watertightness, without
any risk of deterioration or oxidation.
The photovoltaic panel is perfectly integrated into
the tile, this being the best way to achieve a roof
which captures clean energy without affecting
its aesthetic appearance, preserving the line
and usual thickness of the covering. This perfect
integration is completed with the installation of
the roof or facade using FLAT-5XL tiles and other
ceramic accessories.
All the electrical components included i n t h e SOLAR
FLAT-5XL ceramic roof tile have been
carefully selected to guarantee the highest
quality of the product. The junction box is
compact and extremely reliable in harsh
environments, its IP67 certificationmeansit provides
protection against moisture and its bypass diode
means it also protects against the flow of
inverse currents in darkness, when it is cloudy
or when the roof is in shade or covered by
leaves or other objects.
The SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof
tile has an entirely black (FULL-
BLACK), anti-reflective finish,
with none of the typically visible
connections.
The SOLAR FLAT-5XL ceramic roof
tile is designed for a roof or facade
made from FLAT-5XL flat ceramic
tiles and their complementary
special ceramic pieces.
Photovoltaic energy is a clean and environmentally-
friendly form of energy, ideal for self-consumption
and to reduce monthly electricity bills, both for
homes and company premises.
A technology which is widely used around the world,
photovoltaic panels convert solar energy into electricity.
Photovoltaic electrical energy systems are the only ones
which, using a renewable source, can produce electricity
in the place it is consumed.
The importance of self-consumption: save while protecting the environment.
