WILDFIRE

As wildfire risk increases across the country, your roof plays a critical role in defending your home.

A wildfire-ready roof that also makes power.

If you live near open space, canyons, or wildfire country, your roof choice matters. ICON by VOLTAIC is a roof-first, Class A fire-rated roofing system with solar integrated into the roof plane, so you get clean architecture and a more resilient roof upgrade in one project. (Confirm assembly documentation for your local jurisdiction.)

Class A roof covering rating category (ASTM E108 / UL 790)
Built for WUI conversations and permitting packets
Solar integrated into the roof plane (no rack-mounted array look)

Wildfire risk is often ember risk.

In many fires, the biggest threat to homes is not a wall of flame. It’s wind-driven embers landing on the roof, collecting in corners, and finding small gaps. That’s why fire departments and WUI guidance put so much attention on the roof covering, roof edges, and keeping debris off the roof.

Roof covering rating: Class A is the top roof covering category used in roof fire test standards.
Gaps and transitions: Small openings and roof-to-wall intersections matter.
Maintenance matters: Keeping valleys and roof surfaces clear of debris is part of “wildfire ready.”

ICON is Ready for Wildland Urban Interface Zones

Homes near brush, forest, or grasslands fall into what's called WUI zones — Wildland Urban Interface. These areas face the greatest risk of wildfire ignition from airborne embers. ICON is designed to exceed WUI recommendations with:

Concrete roof tiles that do not burn
Ember-blocking underlayment systems
Enclosed system architecture with no open gaps
Fire-resistant flashings, adhesives, and penetrations

Safer. Smarter. Still Beautiful.

ICON protects your home without sacrificing design. Unlike traditional solar panels, the photovoltaic surface is part of the tile, not an add-on. The result is a clean, low-profile roof with next-level durability and long-term energy value.

Whether you're building new or replacing an old roof in a fire zone, ICON helps you meet building code, lower risk, and upgrade to solar all at once.
