The solar roof is becoming such an architectural element that gives buildings a new dimension of functionality and aesthetics. The year 2024 will be a time of growing interest in renewable energy - it's inevitable. The integration of solar energy into architectural structures - implemented by Electrotile - stands out for its reliability, efficiency, as well as its magnificent cohesive appearance. eTile solar roofs, solar pergolas, carports, balustrades and fences are already revolutionizing architects' and builders' view of energy and building design.

Electrotile uses a lot of elements on and around buildings precisely under BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) solutions, and the effect is impressive. Therefore, when designing, it is worth considering these modern solutions and taking into account aspects related to energy and its acquisition.
Integrated solar roofs in contemporary architectural designs
With solutions from Electrotile, architects and investors can also be assured of vast experience - both in the photovoltaic industry and in modern design. In addition, manufacturing in Poland provides plenty of opportunities to personalize solutions to meet the needs of a particular project, investor, development conditions, and even the requirements of the conservation officer.

Architects who attach importance to innovative solutions, include in their projects solutions that fulfill both practical and aesthetic functions. And that is why solar roofs are becoming one of the mainstream developments in the architecture and construction industry.
The solutions proposed by Electrotile for roofs - eTile Classic and eTile Flat - combine functionality, modernity and design consistent with the building. These solar systems are a way to generate energy and a delightful architectural element that gives buildings clarity and harmony.

Solar roofs 2-in-1 - standing seam sheet integrated with photovoltaic panel - eTile Flat
eTile Flat is the answer to the needs of customers looking for a minimalist design. With its flat surface and modern design, eTile Flat is a great solution for buildings with an innovative character.

The effect can be seen on modern buildings, where simplicity and minimalism play a significant role, as well as on historic buildings, where versions of eTile Flat that are almost identical to the old historic roof, yet have the added function of producing energy from the sun, are possible.
Solar roof tiles integrated with solar panels - eTile Classic
On more traditional buildings, a similar 2-in-1 solution can be used - eTile Classic - which is a modular tile roofing integrated with photovoltaic panels. It works great on barn-type houses, for example, but definitely fits well on pitched roofs with several slopes.
The eTile Classic is for those who appreciate the classic look of a roof, combined with modern technological solutions. Available in a variety of colors and patterns, these tiles not only impress with their aesthetics, but also feature high durability and weather resistance.

Some sample installations
Freedom in designing the color scheme of solar roofs
The eTile Flat solar roofs are not only modern per se, but also ahead of the trends. For while photovoltaic panels have traditionally been associated with dark, unsightly elements on the roof, solar roofs in a variety of colors are proving to be a breakthrough. In the case of eTile Flat, we are most often dealing with black, gray and brick-red versions, while black and brick-red versions are the most common choices with eTile Classic. Electrotile also produces many other unusual colors of solar panels, which are then integrated with roof tiles, carports, pergolas or solar blinds.

Solar roof gives security and independence
By covering the entire roof (not just the south slope) with an eTile system, a building can become self-sufficient, especially if energy storage is also installed. The roof produced by Electrotile has an evenly distributed weight and meets insulation and strength requirements. It is also resistant to scratches, weather conditions and snow pressure of up to 5,400 Pa.
What else distinguishes the eTile solar system?
- A simple and proven installation system well known to roofers, it is based on battens and counter-battens, which is of considerable importance in terms of, among other things, load-bearing capacity and ventilation of the roof and the entire building.
- Tightness and stability - eTile is first and foremost a roof sheathing. The even distribution of eTile means stability of sheathing, which translates into safety for families using architectural projects.
- In addition, the eTile system also serves an aesthetic and energy function- and optimal power is ensured through years of research into the efficiency of photovoltaic panels manufactured at Electrotile.
Advanced technology at Electrotile's research and laboratory centers guarantees a beautiful roof that is ahead of the trends in design, ecology and energy efficiency, giving projects a competitive edge and innovative character.
The eTile also provides solid building protection for years to come and a multi-year warranty from a Polish manufacturer. Electrotile has years of experience in the energy market, and provides support and easy access to post-installation service and warranty. This is also important for the reputation of architects using eTile roofs in their projects.
The uniformity of the roof blends seamlessly into the overall body of the building, ensuring harmony and aesthetics, allowing your projects to impress with consistency and elegance.
