About Etile Primary Function: Kapili Hale Pihi Fotovoltaika
Book Text: ʻO Etile he pihi kapili hale metala fotovoltaika i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana ma nā ʻano hale he nui. Hoʻokumu ʻia kēlā me kēia mōkuʻina ma luna o kahi pihi kapili hale kila kalavano kuʻuna a lawe ʻo ia i ʻelima mau pāneka fotovoltaika liʻiliʻi e hana ana i ka uila. He 1200 ma 360 ma 30 mm ka nui o nā mōkuʻina a ua hui pū ʻia me he mau pihi kapili hale maʻamau lā, me nā pilina uea i hūnā ʻia ma lalo o ka uhi kapili hale. Ua pili ka laina mana i ka pūnaewele mana o ka hale. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka pāneka kila i ka pau ʻana o ke ola o ka huahana. Hoʻohui ʻo Etile i ka hana ikehu me ka hoʻololi ʻole ʻana i ka hoʻolālā o ke kapili hale.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- 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

- Bipv, Photovoltaic, Solar, Solar roof, Green Energy, Architecture
- 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.
