Nelskamp – advanced technologies and features

Dachziegelwerke Nelskamp GmbH is a traditional German manufacturer of roofing tiles. It has been on the market for over 100 years and has six plants throughout Germany.

High-quality photovoltaic solutions integrated directly into the roof covering. This state-of-the-art building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) solution creates a compact, waterproof surface that protects while generating electricity.

Key technological features

1. Perfect integration
Photovoltaics become an integral part of the roof. This ensures a high aesthetic standard and a uniform design without visible mounting structures.

2. Maximum efficiency
The systems are designed for optimal energy yield. The combination of solar shingles and integrated panels ensures high efficiency even in demanding conditions. Possibility of connection to battery storage allows for the storage of excess energy for later use. Thermal control Extends the life of solar cells through rear ventilation.

3. Long-term durability and protection
Roof elements with exceptional properties are used, guaranteeing long service life of up to 30 years with minimal performance drop:

• LongLife technology
  Porous surface with excellent self-cleaning ability. Rain easily washes away dirt, algae and moss. Ensures a lasting color fastness and high UV resistance and weather conditions.

• ClimaLife technology (on some types)
  It contains photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO₂), which actively breaks down harmful substances from the air with the help of daylight. Achieves up to 90% pollution reduction in sunny weather. Rain then washes away the harmless residue, making a significant contribution to improving air quality, especially in cities.

4. Excellent mechanical properties
Waterproofness, frost resistance, dimensional stability, precise dimensions and high compressive strength. Certified wind and hail resistance for extreme weather conditions – rounded edges and special profiles increase safety during storms.

5. Lightweight construction (EasyLife variant)
Up to 30% lighter than standard tiles, ideal for renovations and statically less load-bearing roof trusses, without compromising strength or frost resistance.

6. Ecological benefit
Production from recyclable materials is environmentally friendly. Producing clean energy directly on the roof significantly reduces carbon footprint.
