The Design

About Etile Fotovoltaïsche Dakpan

Etile is een fotovoltaïsche metalen dakpan die ontworpen is voor gebruik op vele soorten gebouwen. Elke module is gebaseerd op een traditionele verzinkte stalen dakpan en bevat vijf micro-fotovoltaïsche panelen die elektriciteit opwekken. De modules meten 1200 bij 360 bij 30 millimeter en worden als gewone dakpannen aan elkaar verbonden, waarbij de kabelverbindingen verborgen zitten onder de dakbeschieting. De stroomlijn is aangesloten op het elektriciteitsnet van het gebouw. Het stalen paneel kan aan het einde van de levensduur van het product worden gescheiden. Etile voegt energieopwekking toe zonder de dakstructuur te veranderen.

The Recognition

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.
