Independent Testing
Extensive testing has shown that in summer Solacoat can reduce the temperature of roofing materials by around 40°C creating a pleasant environment within the building.
For a house roof of 150 sq.metres Solacoat reduces the heat absorption of a green colourbond roof from 39 kilowatts to under 4 kilowatts. This can result in hundreds of dollars in savings by reduced air cooling costs during summer.
By using Solacoat on your roof, this will result in savings from power generation and a reduction of approximately 4 tonnes in the amount of carbon dioxide Greenhouse Gas going into the atmosphere.
