Hello,
we are currently considering what the best roofing option for our new build is. A gable roof without dormers and no skylights.
Smooth clay tiles
or
Flat clay tiles or “Frankfurter Pfanne” (by this I mean curved roof tiles)
What are the differences or advantages and disadvantages?
Are there differences in weather resistance?
Do smooth tiles offer better protection against animals since they cannot crawl underneath as easily?
Can curved roof tiles better dissipate summer heat?
Approximately 90% of the south-facing side will be covered with photovoltaic panels. Does the choice of roof tiles affect anything regarding the installation of photovoltaic systems?
Thank you for your help.

Screwing through a "metal roof"? For heaven’s sake! That will ruin the entire waterproofing. The metal sheet stays on the roof. ;-)
I have three different metal roof coverings here, and despite having photovoltaic panels (which are definitely not glued on), they have remained watertight for over 15 years. The 450 kWp my employer installed last year hasn’t caused any leaks either. Just like tens of thousands of industrial roofs across the country. I wonder how they all installed their photovoltaic systems...

There are minimum distances that must be observed from the roof edges. Where does it say that? And why does my roof not seem to know about it? ;-)
With certain very high wind loads, it’s wise not to go all the way to the edge. Going right up to the ridge, which depending on the roof covering sometimes requires repositioning tiles (I’ve experienced that twice), is not a problem.
@Deliverer and @Hausbau e.K. I think you are talking about very different types of metal roofs, is that correct?
Standing seam versus trapezoidal roof? With a trapezoidal roof, the screws are probably placed in the raised section where less water flows. In that case, sealing around the metal roofing screws should be sufficient.
Standing seam roofing seems more like what you’d find on a church roof, which explains the use of copper...
