Let's face it - traditional solar installations often look like alien spacecraft landed on your roof. Enter the CT20 CM Solar Tile Roof Solution, the Clark Kent of photovoltaic systems that combines superhero strength with architectural charm. Designed specifically for tile roofs, this system's secret weapon is its #28 hook technology that hugs your existing structure tighter than a koala to a eucalyptus tree.
This isn't your grandpa's solar setup. The CT20 solution brings three game-changing features:
While competitors are still mixing concrete and firing up welders, CM Solar's vertical shaft punching system installs faster than you can binge-watch a Netflix series. The secret? A 1500-2000mm pile driving depth that anchors the system more securely than your childhood blanket stayed tucked in at night.
When Arizona's Schmidt family upgraded their 1920s terracotta roof, they saved 30% on installation costs compared to traditional methods. Their system now produces enough energy to power both their home and their neighbor's Tesla - though we can't confirm rumors about free charging in exchange for homemade tamales.
CM Solar's ballasted system handles 90mph winds better than your umbrella survives a subway grate gust. The secret lies in its:
Recent industry reports show tile roof solar conversions increasing by 18% annually, with CM Solar installations boasting:
While competitors chase the next big thing, CM Solar's CT20 solution already integrates emerging technologies:
As building codes evolve faster than TikTok trends, the CT20's future-ready design ensures compliance through 2030. Its modular architecture adapts to new panel technologies like a smartphone case fits upgraded models - no full system overhaul required.

Here's a closer look at rooftop solar in Canada and things to consider, including the up-front cost and a mix of policies and incentives that vary widely across the country.. Here's a closer look at rooftop solar in Canada and things to consider, including the up-front cost and a mix of policies and incentives that vary widely across the country.. This guide helps you decide between solar roof shingles and solar panels, compare the costs and specifically looks at installing shingles in Canada. [pdf]
Today, a good way of estimating the cost of installing solar panels on your roof is to assume roughly $3 per watt. With an average Canadian home requiring between 5 and 10 kW of solar panels, this would work out to $15,000 for a 5 kW system. It should be noted, however, that the price per watt is inversely proportional to the cost of the system.
Solar roofs have an identical install as a traditional solar panel. This provides cost savings measures and can utilize current racking tools readily available through most solar panel installers. Unlike Tesla’s Solar Shingles, these Solar Roof panels are easy to install and built to withstand Canadian climates.
But if you look closely at some roofs, you might find an intriguing lack of traditional panel design. With a Solar Roof, it becomes possible to produce clean, renewable energy without worrying about the aesthetic of traditional panels. These novel roofs can capture sunlight and convert them directly to electricity.
But incentives and policies that encourage or discourage solar vary widely across Canada. Ashley Reid put solar panels on her home in southern Ontario with the help of federal grant and loan programs. Based on her calculations, she says it makes financial sense to have the panels installed on her home. (Submitted by Ashley Reid)
It's a solution touted by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, which started selling solar roof tiles in the U.S. in 2017. Since then, a range of made-in-Canada options for different parts of buildings have hit the market — and installations have sprung up across the country showcasing what's possible.
