At a time when sustainable construction is no longer a trend and is becoming a standard, developers are faced with a challenge: how to create a housing estate that not only meets the growing legal requirements, but also provides added value and stands out from the competition? The answer is a comprehensive solar ecosystem that transforms a traditional housing estate into a modern, energy-efficient living space.
At a time when sustainable construction is no longer a trend and is becoming a standard, developers are faced with a challenge: how to create a housing estate that not only meets the growing legal requirements, but also provides added value and stands out from the competition? The answer is a comprehensive solar ecosystem that transforms a traditional housing estate into a modern, energy-efficient living space.

Why is it important to think systemically?

The traditional approach to photovoltaics in residential construction is often limited to the installation of standard panels on roofs. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg of possibilities offered by modern solar architecture. A comprehensive approach to solar energy allows you to create a space that not only produces energy, but also raises the standard of living of residents and significantly increases the value of the entire investment.

Elements of the Solar Ecosystem

1. eTile solar roofs

The foundation of the entire system is eTile solar roofs. Unlike standard photovoltaic systems, the eTile solar roof is an integral part of the building's architecture. Significantly, the difference in price between a solar roof and a traditional roof with photovoltaic installation is only 10-20%, while the increase in property value can reach 30-40%.

Key benefits:

  • Aesthetic integration with the architecture of the building
  • Higher weather resistance
  • Easier installation process (one contractor instead of two)
  • Meeting future EU requirements for photovoltaics in new buildings

2. eBlade solar fence

The eBlade fence system is not only the boundary of the property, but also an additional source of energy. The span with a width of 2m and a height of 1.5m generates about 480Wp of power, which in the scale of the entire estate gives a significant energy potential.

Uses and benefits:

  • Supply of residential lighting and security systems
  • Elegant, minimalist design
  • Integrated app-controlled LED lighting
  • Additional value for residents (e.g. charging electric cars in common areas)

3. Bioclimatic pergolas

Solar pergolas in common spaces and private gardens are a premium element that significantly raises the standard of the estate. From an area of 5.5x4.5m you can get about 3.2kWp of power, while creating a comfortable seating area.

Possibilities of use:

  • Relaxation areas in common areas
  • Covered parking spaces
  • Private terraces and gardens
  • Recreation areas next to the settlement club

4. Sistema de pantalla zip

Automatic solar curtains with their own photovoltaic power supply are an element that combines comfort with energy efficiency. Especially relevant in houses with large glazing.

Benefits:

  • Reduction of air conditioning costs
  • Enhancing privacy
  • Integration with smart home
  • Energy self-sufficiency

Business and financial aspects

Sales model

We recommend three levels of offer:

  1. Basic package:
    • eTile solar roof
    • Basic infrastructure for system expansion
    • Margin: 15-20% higher than with a standard roof
  2. Extended Package:
    • Solar roof + eBlade fence
    • Preparation for the pergola
    • Sistem zip skjerm
    • Margin: 25-30%
  3. Premium Package:
    • Complete Solar Ecosystem
    • Full integration with smart home system
    • Margin: 35-40%

Calculation of revenue

Sample calculation for a housing estate of 20 houses:

Standard implementation:

  • Income from home: PLN 1,000,000
  • Margin: 20%
  • Total profit: 4 000 000 PLN

Implementation with solar ecosystem:

  • Income from home: PLN 1,300,000
  • Margin: 25-35%
  • Total profit: 6 500 000 - 9 100 000 PLN

Contractor Certification Program

A key element of success is the proper preparation of the performers. Electrotile offers a comprehensive certification program that includes:

  • Technical training for assembly teams
  • Project support and consulting
  • Access to tools and assembly materials
  • Guarantee of the quality of workmanship
  • Service Support

Marketing Support

Electrotile provides comprehensive support in the promotion of investments:

  • 3D visualizations of the entire estate
  • Marketing and sales materials
  • Mobile showroom on the construction site
  • Support in communication with customers
  • Prestige House program for show houses

A comprehensive solar ecosystem is not only a way to distinguish an investment in the market, but above all a chance to significantly increase the profitability of the project. With a relatively small increase in costs (10-20%), we can achieve an increase in the value of the entire investment by up to 30-40%.

The key to success is a systemic approach - instead of treating solar elements as extras, it is worth designing the entire estate as a coherent, energy-efficient space. As a result, we will not only meet future legal requirements, but also create a product that meets the real needs of eco-conscious premium customers.
