About Etile Tegula Fotovoltaica per Tettu

Etile hè una tegula metallica fotovoltaica cuncepita per esse aduprata nantu à parechji tipi d'edificii. Ogni mòdulu si basa nantu à una tegula tradiziunale d'acciaghju galvanizatu è porta cinque micro pannelli fotovoltaichi chì generanu elettricità. I mòduli mìsuranu 1200 per 360 per 30 millimetri è sò uniti trà elli cum'è e tegule ordinarie, cù e cunnessioni di i cavi piattate sottu à u rivestimentu di u tettu. A linea elettrica hè cunnessa à a rete elettrica di l'edifiziu. U pannellu d'acciaghju pò esse siparatu à a fine di a vita di u pruduttu. Etile aghjunghje a generazione d'energia senza cambià a strutura di u tettu.

Unique Properties: Electrotile is going to offer photovoltaic steel tiles together with the rest of PV equipment and installation service unlike current suppliers of roof integrated PV. The modular, easy-to-use product allows it to be delivered to almost any type of building.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1200mm x 360mm x 30mm

Production Technology: the design of the etile is based on metal roof tiles, a traditional solution based on galvanized steel has created an easily available product. Each individual module has 5 micro photovoltaic panels that generate energy. The steel panel can be easily separated, which is extremely important for the product life cycle.
Design Challenge: Our company has been collecting experience in photovoltaics by installing panels on roofs. Most of the insides came from our customers who complained about the poor aesthetics and the mismatch of the size of the panels to the roof. The design challenge was available solutions that would be quick to install, available cheap and aesthetically.
Research: the roofing sheet project was a research and development project during which many tests were carried out. During the design process, we were testing various panel sizes, material connectrions and overal look of product on the building.
Inspiration: Traditional photovoltaic panels often look unsightly on the building, their large size does not allow for an exact fit to the roof body. We wanted to propose a solution which would look good on the building and not stand out from traditional roof tiles.
Project Duration: the project was developed in Warsaw. Conceptual work lasted from september 2016. After many prototypes and tests, the project was finally implemented in January 2020.
Operation Flow: The modules are connected together in the same way as ordinary roof tiles. The only element distinguishing Etile are cable connections, which are hidden under the roof sheathing. As in the case of a solar installation, the power line is connected to the home power grid.
