MARLEY ACHIEVES BBA CERTIFICATION FOR ITS SOLARTILE® RANGE
Leading roof systems manufacturer, Marley has been awarded with a British Board of Agrément (BBA) certification for its innovative SolarTile® 410W range, which includes flashing kits and integrated solar panels. This certification uniquely confirms that Marley SolarTile® meets stringent standards for electricity generation from sunlight on pitched roofs between 20° and 60° on both domestic and non-domestic buildings.
The BBA certification validates the performance, safety and sustainability of Marley’s SolarTile®, confirming its full compliance with building regulations, technical specifications and design considerations. It also reflects the outcome of rigorous assessment in areas such as mechanical resistance, fire safety, hygiene, environmental impact, energy efficiency, and durability.
Assessment criteria
In response to a significant uplift in the use of solar PV, the NHBC announced more stringent requirements in the 2024 Technical Standards update. As roof integrated solar systems are classified as products that perform critical fire-resistance and weatherproofing functions. The new standards now include the requirement to demonstrate an acceptable level of durability, and that the life expectancy should be confirmed by an independent technical approvals authority.
This BBA certification included an assessment of the durability of the complete solar system and confirms the lifetime of the product is equivalent to the roof structure with which it is applied.
Key areas evaluated included:
Mechanical resistance and stability: Ensuring the system can withstand wind loads, physical impacts and other stresses.
Safety in case of fire: Verifying the system’s fire resistance, to protect building occupants.
Hygiene, health and environmental safety: Ensuring the range has no harmful impact on building occupants or the environment.
Energy economy and heat retention: Demonstrating the system’s ability to generate energy efficiently and contribute to heat retention.
Durability: Assessing the system’s long-term performance and lifespan.
In addition to product evaluation, the BBA’s review also included an assessment of Marley’s manufacturing processes, delivery, handling, storage, and maintenance protocols. The company’s commitment to regular production assessments and formal 3-yearly reviews ensures quality controls remain consistent throughout the system’s lifecycle.

Marley calls on social housing providers to secure Wave 3 funding for decarbonisation
MARLEY URGES SOCIAL HOUSING PROVIDERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WAVE 3 FUNDING FOR DECARBONISATION
Roof systems manufacturer, Marley is calling on social housing providers across the UK to leverage the funding opportunity presented by the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund.
Previously the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF), applications for the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund Wave 3 are open for local authorities, combined authorities, registered providers of social housing, and registered charities that own social housing.
As the UK works towards its ambitious net-zero targets, the Warm Homes Fund offers crucial financial support for retrofitting social housing with building fabric and/or technological upgrades. This includes solar PV systems, like Marley SolarTile®, which has proven to be a popular decarbonisation solution for social housing providers in previous waves of funding. By leveraging this funding, housing providers can improve the energy efficiency of social housing stock that is currently rated below EPC band C, which in turn improves living quality for tenants.
“Social housing providers play a pivotal role in leading the charge towards the UK’s ambitions for a net zero future. This funding offers them an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on both sustainability and tenant wellbeing,” said Stuart Nicholson Roof Systems Director at Marley. “By integrating solar PV solutions into their properties, they can help to reduce their resident’s energy bills, allowing tenants to benefit from lower living costs and increased financial stability all while helping social housing providers meet government sustainability targets and EPC compliance requirements.”
Social housing providers are encouraged to apply for funding under Wave 3 of the Warm Homes initiative, with applications open until 25th November 2025. For those thinking of applying, Marley is committed to providing tailored solar PV solutions and expert guidance to help housing providers navigate the funding process and implement effective projects.
In addition, Marley can support local authorities and social housing providers with the following:
Production of detailed NBS specifications - used by architects and other building professionals to outline the products and standards of a project.
In depth calculations of the kilowatt output from our Marley SolarTile® solution – to clearly demonstrate the potential benefits tenants could receive as a result of installing solar PV.
Assistance on surveying existing housing stock to determine the sustainability of solar PV.
Onsite support for installation teams when installing solar panels.
