The ETILE is a combination of photovoltaic panel and roofing. It combines these two
functions, which effectively shortens the time of implementation of photovoltaic installation
and reduces the cost of its purchase. The modular photovoltaic element makes it possible to
use the roof area more efficiently in order to produce electricity from the sun. The dedicated
photovoltaic modules allow to increase the degree of roof surface utilization and to achieve a
unique visual effect. Unlike the traditional panels, integration of the steel tile with a thin photovoltaic element, not only offers a new valuable functionality but also reduces the purchase and assembly costs of photovoltaic installation and eliminates the need to consider the impact of the entire installation on the roof structure, and this makes it a solution widely available also to small property owners. The refined shape of the panel allows it to be placed both at right angles and obliquely, which gives a unique effect. Etile can be used on classic buildings, emphasizing their appearance.
