About Etile Primary Function: Igikoresho cyo gusakaza gikoresha ingufu z'izuba

Book Text: Etile ni igikoresho cyo gusakaza gikozwe mu byuma kandi gikoresha ingufu z'izuba, cyakozwe kugira ngo gikoreshwe ku bwoko bunyuranye bw'inyubako. Buri gice gishingiye ku gikoresho gakondo cyo gusakaza gikozwe mu byuma bya galivanize, kandi gitwaye utubaho duto tutanu tw'izuba dutanga amashanyarazi. Ibi bice bifite ubunini bwa milimetero 1200 kuri 360 kuri 30, kandi bihuzwa hamwe nk'ibindi bikoresho bisanzwe byo gusakaza, aho imigozi ihuzwa ihishwa munsi y'igisenge. Umurongo w'amashanyarazi uhuzwa n'urusobe rw'amashanyarazi rw'inyubako. Ibyuma bishobora gutandukanywa igihe ubuzima bw'igikoresho bugeze ku iherezo.

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.
