Vasakronan, Uppsala

Vasakronan gets roof and solar cells in the same renovation - with a ShingEl solar roof.

Like many other properties built around the 1960s, the time had come for one of Vasakronan’s properties in Uppsala to get a new roof. For the sake of long-term sustainability, they did not opt for yet another metal roof, but one of our roofs with integrated solar cells — ShingEl.

With its central location, there are high fees for permits and barriers, making a major roof renovation expensive. A roof with ShingEl gave Vasakronan both a complete roof and a solar cell installation as part of the same renovation, which reduced construction time and allowed for a better investment. In the long run, this will result in a quicker ROI period for their new, energy-producing roof.
