What Homeowners Notice About RARE
Distinctive Canadian-made metal roofing profiles combining architectural character, dimensional appearance and the strength of steel.
“The profile has a substantial, high-end appearance. It looks much more like a traditional roofing material than we expected from steel.”
“You can immediately see the difference. The panels have a solid appearance that makes the entire roof look strong and permanent.”
“We wanted something that didn’t have the flat, artificial appearance of some metal roofs. The depth and shape of this profile really stand out.”
“The finished roof completely changed the appearance of the house. It has the character we wanted together with the confidence of a steel roofing system.”
“The roof looks extremely well built. The profile gives it a heavier and more substantial appearance than conventional shingles.”
“We really liked how the steel is formed to create texture and dimension. From the street it gives the home a completely different look.”
“It has the appearance of a premium architectural roof, but underneath that look is the strength of steel. That combination really impressed us.”
“The roof feels like it belongs on the house. The profile doesn’t look thin or industrial — it has a strong residential architectural appearance.”
“The formed profile gives the roof much more character than a typical flat metal panel. It looks strong, detailed and very well finished.”
“What stood out most was how substantial the roof looks. You get the architectural appearance we wanted without giving up the durability associated with steel.”
“The roof has incredible visual depth. You can see the shadow lines in the profile and it makes the entire roof look much more expensive.”
“We were looking for a metal roof that still looked appropriate on a traditional home. The profile gives us exactly that combination.”
“The steel looks incredibly solid once installed. It gives you the impression that this roof was built to handle serious weather.”
“The appearance surprised us the most. From the road it doesn’t have that basic sheet-metal look. It has real shape and architectural detail.”
“The roof immediately made the house look newer and more substantial. The strong profile lines really improve the curb appeal.”
“We wanted the durability of metal but didn’t want our home to look industrial. This profile gives us the best of both worlds.”
“The shape of the panels creates a much stronger appearance than ordinary shingles. The roof looks heavy-duty without looking oversized.”
“It has a really clean finished appearance. The lines are sharp, the profile is dimensional, and the whole house looks more refined.”
“You can tell immediately that it isn’t a lightweight looking roof. The profile gives the house a permanent, solid appearance.”
“The combination of the profile shape and steel construction was exactly what we wanted — something attractive, substantial and built for long-term performance.”
Ironwood e-Panel™ Solar Roofing
The Ironwood e-Panel™ is a photovoltaic roof shingle engineered to integrate seamlessly with the RARE Ironwood Shake roofing system. High-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells capture the sun’s energy while maintaining the appearance and protection of a premium metal roof.
Instead of installing a traditional rack-mounted solar system on top of the roof, Ironwood e-Panels™ are incorporated directly into the roofing system to create a seamless, durable and practically undetectable solar surface.
Designed to blend directly into Ironwood Shake roofing.
Two Major Home Upgrades. One Roofing System.
Traditional rack-mounted solar panels are often viewed as equipment installed on top of a roof. Ironwood e-Panels™ take a different approach by integrating renewable-energy technology directly into the RARE Ironwood Shake roofing system.
A Permanent Home Upgrade
Integrated solar becomes part of the roofing system instead of temporary equipment mounted over the roof surface.
Cleaner Curb Appeal
The low-profile integrated design helps preserve the architectural appearance of the Ironwood Shake roof without bulky mounting racks.
Renewable Electricity
High-efficiency monocrystalline solar cells capture sunlight and convert it into clean renewable electricity.
Roof + Energy System
Homeowners and future buyers see both a durable metal roof and an integrated energy system — two substantial upgrades working together.
Integrated Solar vs. Rack-Mounted Panels
Rack-Mounted Panels
Integrated Solar Roofing
Durable metal roofing and renewable solar energy integrated into one seamless roofing system.
Solar Technology Designed Into the Roof.
Ironwood e-Panels™ are not conventional solar modules placed over finished roofing. They are engineered to integrate directly with RARE Ironwood Shake panels, allowing the roofing and solar components to work together as one clean, interlocking exterior system.
Built Into the Roof.
Seamless Integration
The e-Panel™ is designed specifically to complement Ironwood Shake roofing, creating a low-profile appearance that blends naturally into the surrounding metal roof.
Interlocking Construction
Each panel integrates into the surrounding roofing system using an interlocking design and hidden fasteners, helping maintain the clean architectural appearance of the roof.
Protected Electrical Connections
Electrical connections are safely positioned on the underside of the solar panels, protecting critical components from direct exposure to rain, snow, wind and outside elements.
Built for Ironwood Shake
Ironwood e-Panels™ can complement new or currently installed Ironwood Shake roofing systems where roof slopes meet the required minimum of 3/12.
Your solar system should not look like an afterthought.
By integrating solar directly into a permanent metal roofing system, Ironwood e-Panel™ creates a finished roof that combines protection, renewable energy and architectural curb appeal.
A Permanent Roof Upgrade. With Energy Built In.
Traditional solar is typically installed as separate equipment over an existing roof. Ironwood e-Panel™ takes a completely different approach. The solar technology integrates directly into the Ironwood Shake roofing system, allowing homeowners to upgrade both their roof and their energy system at the same time.
The result is a cleaner architectural appearance without the bulky look of conventional rack-mounted solar panels. From the street, the system maintains the premium appearance of a metal shake roof while generating renewable electricity from sunlight.
One Integrated System.
Buyers See More Than Solar. They See a Better Roof.
When solar is seamlessly incorporated into a durable metal roof, homeowners are not simply adding electrical equipment to their property. They are combining a long-lasting roofing system with renewable-energy technology.
That distinction matters. It creates the appearance of a permanent home improvement rather than temporary equipment attached to the roof.
Engineered for the elements.
Integrated solar technology backed by a roofing-first approach.
Solar Roofing Has to Do More Than Generate Power.
A roof is one of the most exposed systems on a home. That means integrated solar cannot be designed as an electrical product alone. It has to function within a roofing environment where water, temperature changes, snow, wind and long-term exterior exposure are part of everyday performance.
Ironwood e-Panel™ was developed around that reality. Its photovoltaic technology is incorporated into a roofing system designed to protect the home while keeping critical electrical connections sheltered beneath the exterior surface.
Roofing-First Engineering
The system is developed around the realities of an exterior roofing environment rather than simply adapting conventional rooftop solar hardware.
Protected Components
Electrical connections are positioned on the underside of the e-Panel™, helping shield critical components from direct exposure to outside conditions.
Made for Exterior Exposure
Integrated roofing components are designed with long-term exterior exposure in mind, where changing Canadian weather conditions are part of the operating environment.
Tested for Long-Term Use
The Ironwood e-Panel™ system has undergone UL testing and approval as part of its development for dependable long-term solar roofing applications.
Tested Solar Technology. Integrated Roofing Intelligence.
Start with the roof. Then engineer the solar into it.
That approach changes everything. Instead of asking how solar equipment can be attached to a completed roof, the Ironwood e-Panel™ system begins with the roofing system itself and incorporates energy generation into the architecture.
