Counter Batten Installation for ICON Roof Tiles
In this video, we guide you through the entire process of installing counter battens as a crucial preparation for Voltaic Solar Roof Tiles. Counter battens provide the foundation for a durable and efficient solar roof installation, ensuring proper ventilation and waterproofing.

ICON is a roofing system before it is a solar product. It replaces traditional roofing materials and performs the primary function of a roof: long-term protection, weather resistance, and structural reliability.
Designed to preserve clean rooflines and uniform surface geometry. Every tile contributes to a consistent architectural appearance without exposed hardware, visual clutter, or mismatched components.
-
Uniform Slate-Style Surface — No Dummy Tiles
-
Designed to Match Westlake Saxony 900 Profile
-
ICON is engineered for demanding jurisdictions, including approvals for High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ), Class A fire ratings, and high wind uplift requirements. Code compliance is a foundational design input, not an afterthought.
-
Published testing and certifications
-
Engineered for real-world conditions
-
ICON follows roof-first installation practices using familiar roofing assemblies. Roofing and solar are integrated into a single system, simplifying installation sequencing, reducing system redundancy, and supporting predictable project economics.
-
Installs Like Concrete Tile
-
Single-Crew Installation
-
Faster Installation Sequencing
-
ICON is built around concrete roofing materials with long service-life expectations. The system carries a 30-year roof warranty and is designed by a company whose core competency is roofing—not retrofit solar hardware.
