About Etile Ljósvirkjuð þakflís

Etile er ljósvirkjuð málmþakflís hönnuð til notkunar á margar tegundir bygginga. Hver eining byggir á hefðbundinni galvanhúðaðri stálþakflís og ber fimm örsmá ljósvirkjunarspjöld sem framleiða rafmagn. Einingarnar mælast 1200 sinnum 360 sinnum 30 millímetrar og eru tengdar saman líkt og venjulegar þakflísar, með kaplatengingum faldar undir þakklæðningunni. Aflleiðslan er tengd við raforkukerfi byggingarinnar. Hægt er að aðskilja stálspjaldið við lok líftíma vörunnar. Etile bætir við orkuframleiðslu án þess að breyta þakbyggingunni.

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.
