eBlade Solar Railings: A Revolution in Residential Energy
eBlade System: A Smart Combination of Function and Aesthetics
The eBlade system is an aluminum balcony railing with integrated photovoltaic modules. Lamels with a width of 10-20 cm and a length of up to 2 meters can be installed both vertically and horizontally, with the ability to adjust the angle of inclination up to 30 degrees. The structure is designed to blend harmoniously with modern architecture while ensuring optimal energy production.
Energy Efficiency and Savings
A medium-sized balcony (4m long) equipped with the eBlade system can generate about 1000 Wp of power, which translates into the production of about 850-900 kWh of energy per year. At current electricity prices, this means potential savings of the order of PLN 850-900 per year for a resident. On the scale of the whole building, the system can significantly reduce energy costs in the common areas.
Detailed Calculation for a Typical Apartment (70m2):
- Annual energy consumption: 2200 kWh
- Production from eBlade railing: 900 kWh
- Potential demand coverage: 40%
- Estimated annual savings: 850-900 zł
- Payback period: 7-8 years
Sales Models for the Developer
Basic Model
- eBlade railings as standard in south-facing apartments
- An increase in the price of an apartment by 8-10%
- Distinguishing the investment from the competition
- Marketing based on savings and ecology
Premium Model
- eBlade railings as an additional option
