A Real Roof. Integrated Solar. Engineered to Perform Where Others Struggle.
Unlike conventional solar products, ICON is designed as a ventilated roofing system that manages heat, integrates cleanly with building codes, and performs reliably in real-world conditions. By combining concrete roofing materials, high-efficiency solar cells, and roof-first installation practices, ICON delivers long-term durability and consistent energy production without altering the appearance or behavior of the roof.
An integrated solar roof is a roofing system where solar energy generation is built directly into the roof itself — not mounted on top of it.
ICON by VOLTAIC replaces traditional roofing materials with power-producing concrete tiles, unifying structure, weather protection, and energy generation into a single system.
ICON by VOLTAIC is an integrated concrete solar roof tile system engineered for demanding climates. Built as part of a ventilated roof assembly, it replaces traditional roofing materials where solar is installed and integrates seamlessly with standard roofing elsewhere—delivering architectural continuity, thermal management, high-efficiency energy generation, and predictable real-world performance.

Ventilated roof assembly
manages heat at the roof level, not just at the solar cell, supporting more consistent real-world energy output in hot climates.
Concrete roof tiles
act as a natural heat sink, drawing heat away from the solar cells and reducing temperature-related performance losses common in direct-to-deck systems.
Non-reflective DuPont mineral coating
with surface topography improves light capture in low sun angles while avoiding glare and reflective losses associated with glass-covered products.
Re-roofs
where the existing roof is being replaced and solar is part of the long-term plan
High-wind, wildfire, and extreme-weather zones
that require proven roofing and fire performance
Architectural or HOA-controlled homes
where appearance, rooflines, and material consistency are critical
New construction
that demands predictable inspections, code certainty, and long-term durability
A Real Roof First
VOLTAIC is designed, installed, and reviewed as roofing—not as specialty solar equipment. It installs using standard roofing practices that roofers already understand and inspectors are accustomed to approving, reducing complexity and uncertainty at every stage. Solar is applied only where it makes sense, while the rest of the roof performs exactly as conventional roofing, resulting in a single, unified roof system. This roof-first approach lowers risk for homeowners, simplifies execution for trades, and avoids the compromises that come from hybrid or add-on assemblies.

Architectural Aesthetics
VOLTAIC is designed to look and perform like a finished architectural roof, not visible solar equipment. The slate-style integrated tiles create a single, continuous roof surface with consistent texture, proportion, and roofline geometry. There are no panel frames, rails, or exposed hardware, and no visual distinction between energy-producing and non-producing areas of the roof. This preserves curb appeal, meets architectural and HOA standards, and allows solar to be integrated into high-design homes without compromising aesthetics.
This makes ICON well-suited for architect-driven projects, HOA-controlled communities, and premium residential design standards.
Extreme Weather & Code Credibility
VOLTAIC is engineered and tested to meet the requirements of the most demanding building codes and environmental conditions. The system achieves Class A fire ratings, high-wind performance standards, and approval for High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), where uplift resistance, fire performance, and attachment methods are closely scrutinized. By integrating directly into the roof assembly—without exposed racks or add-on hardware—VOLTAIC reduces common failure points associated with corrosion, severe weather exposure, and coastal conditions. This enables installation in jurisdictions and climates where conventional solar roofing systems are often restricted or prohibited.
Key performance and code attributes:
-
HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) approved for wind uplift and attachment requirements
-
Class A fire-rated roof assembly with no exposed metal hardware
-
Ventilated roof-integrated design that manages heat more effectively than direct-to-deck solar systems in hot and extreme climates
Cost & Ease-of-Install Logic
VOLTAIC is designed around proven roofing materials and standard installation methods rather than proprietary solar-specific assemblies. By integrating solar directly into familiar roofing workflows, ICON reduces trade coordination, simplifies installation sequencing, and avoids the added complexity often associated with specialty solar roofs. This roof-integrated, ventilated approach also manages heat at the roof level, supporting more consistent real-world energy output in hot climates compared to direct-to-deck solar systems, where elevated operating temperatures can reduce performance.
Installation and performance advantages:
-
Uses standard roofing materials and installation practices already familiar to roofing professionals
-
Reduced trade coordination and installer training, enabling predictable installation timelines
-
Ventilated roof-integrated design supports more consistent output in hot climates versus direct-to-deck solar roofs
Longevity, Warranty & Purpose-Built Expertise
VOLTAIC is built as long-term infrastructure, not a short-cycle product offering. ICON is backed by a 30-year roof warranty and constructed using concrete roofing materials with service life expectations measured in decades. Because integrated solar roofing is the company’s sole focus, engineering, testing, certification, and installer standards are aligned around a single system rather than spread across unrelated products. This purpose-built approach reduces lifecycle risk and provides homeowners and partners with confidence that the roof is designed, warranted, and supported for long-term performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ICON a full roof replacement or an add-on?
ICON is a full roof replacement system. The concrete solar tiles replace traditional roofing materials while generating energy, resulting in a single, unified roof assembly rather than equipment added on top of a roof.
Can ICON be installed in hurricane, wildfire, or high-wind zones?
Yes. ICON is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) and meets stringent wind uplift and Class A fire-rating requirements, allowing installation in jurisdictions where many solar products are restricted or prohibited.
How does ICON compare to solar shingles or solar panels?
Unlike direct-to-deck solar shingles or rack-mounted panels, ICON is engineered as a ventilated roofing system. This roof-first design improves thermal behavior, durability, and real-world performance while preserving architectural aesthetics.
Is ICON compatible with battery storage like Tesla Powerwall?
Yes. ICON integrates with modern battery systems, including Tesla Powerwall, enabling backup power, energy management, and long-term resilience.
When does ICON make the most sense—new construction or re-roofs?
ICON is ideal for both new construction and re-roof projects, especially when long-term durability, code certainty, and architectural consistency are priorities.
More than just solar on a roof.
ICON is designed to pass HOA rules, work with battery backup power, and strengthen your long-term home investment.
