About Etile 太陽光発電屋根瓦

Etileは、多様な建築物への使用を想定して設計された太陽光発電機能を備えた金属製屋根瓦です。各モジュールは伝統的な亜鉛メッキ鋼板製の屋根瓦をベースとし、発電を行う5枚のマイクロ太陽光パネルを搭載しています。モジュールの寸法は1200×360×30ミリメートルで、通常の屋根瓦と同じように葺き合わせて設置し、ケーブル接続部は野地板の下に隠されます。電力線は建物の電力系統に接続されます。製品寿命を迎えた際には、鋼板部分を分離することが可能です。Etileは、屋根の構造を変えることなくエネルギー生成の機能を付加します。

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.
