A recent roof renewal of their
own Head Office presented Scottish roofing specialists;
Forster with the perfect opportunity to install Redland’s
‘On Top’ and ‘Integrated’ solar PV roof systems. By doing so
on their own offices in Brechin, Scotland, Forster has
gained MCS accreditation, which ensures that their customers
are able to claim payments from the Feed in Tariff scheme.
The installation has also helped Forster to reduce their
carbon footprint and benefit from electricity savings.

Forster installed three Redland
roof PV systems at their Head Office. Part of the property
was re-roofed in Mini Stonewold Slate Grey tiles,
incorporating nine Redland on-top PV panels and nine
integrated Mini Stonewold PV tiles. Another area of the roof
was fitted with Redland Grovebury tiles incorporating nine
integrated Grovebury PV tiles.

Forster Managing Director, Steve
Scott said: “We decided on Redland for this project based on
the confidence we drew from having successfully worked with
them for many years, benefitting from their understanding of
traditional roof design and their track record for producing
quality roofing products.”

Steve added: “With the strong
wind and rain we are all too familiar with here in Scotland,
we recognised the importance of the fixings and installation
process in ensuring the long term security and weather
tightness of our roof. Both the integrated and on-top
systems proved incredibly easy to install and the whole job
was completed within a week.”

Redland Sales Director Andy
Dennis commented: ‘We are delighted to see our integrated
and on-top solar PV systems utilised by Forster. Having such
an established and reputable contractor use our PV systems
and tiles on their own premises demonstrates the confidence
they have in our product design.”
