Nelskamp – Combination of traditional design and proven German quality

When you think of a roof tile, many people imagine the classic shape that has adorned Czech houses for generations. The German manufacturer Nelskamp is following this tradition with its photovoltaic tiles. Their greatest advantage is perfect visual integration – at first glance, no one will know that your roof is generating electricity. Thanks to the clever design that simulates the joints between the tiles, the roof looks uniform and elegant.

Nelskamp offers tailor-made solutions for different types of roof coverings. Installation is quick and safe – the modules are hung on the battens using hanging hooks and screwed in. The locking system on the sides then ensures a perfect connection with the surrounding tiles.
