eTile Fusion — solar panel system for existing roofs
What exactly is eTile Fusion?
eTile Fusion is a system of specially designed glass photovoltaic modules together with dedicated stainless steel eShark handles. These precisely made brackets allow the panels to be securely mounted on an existing sheet metal roof to the hem, without the need to make additional holes or modify the covering.
The system is designed to preserve all the advantages of a hipped roof - its tightness, durability and elegant appearance, while adding the possibility of generating electricity. Importantly, eTile Fusion modules are available in a variety of colors, so we can perfectly match them to your existing roofing.
Universal fit
One of the key advantages of eTile Fusion is its versatility. Our photovoltaic modules are designed to fit virtually any popular sheet metal seam system available on the market. Modules with a height of 2000 mm and an adjustable width from 470 to 530 mm can be adapted to the hem spacing of all leading manufacturers:
Take, for example, the most popular systems on the market - our solution works perfectly with Ruukki sheet with a pitch of 480 mm, elegant Prefa (500 mm) or the widely used Pruszyński and Blachotropez systems (510 mm). Even if you have a PB2 (522 mm) or Budmat (542 mm) system on the roof, our eTile Fusion system will fit easily.
This versatility is no accident - we designed our system, analyzing the specifics of all popular roofing solutions. Thanks to this, we can guarantee that no matter what sheet manufacturer you have on your roof, the eTile Fusion system will work efficiently and safely.
When should you consider eTile Fusion?
The system will work perfectly if:
- You have a relatively new sheet metal roof for the seam (up to 10 years)
- You care about preserving the aesthetics of the building
- You want to avoid interference with existing roofing
- You need a solution that does not overload the roof structure excessively
How is the assembly going?
Installing eTile Fusion is a precise but relatively simple process. First, special eShark holders are attached to the edges of the sheet metal - without making any holes in the coating. Next, photovoltaic modules are mounted on the holders. The entire system is designed to facilitate the work of installers as much as possible, while guaranteeing the highest level of safety and tightness.
Importantly, the installation does not require specialized tools or modifications to the roof. Thus, you retain a full guarantee for the existing roofing.
Safety and durability
Our eTile Fusion modules have passed a number of rigorous tests, including:
- Snow load tests (up to 5400 Pa)
- High wind resistance tests
- Tightness tests under heavy rainfall
- Tests for resistance to hail
The eShark bracket system is designed to evenly distribute loads over the entire roof surface. In addition, the special design of the handles ensures adequate ventilation under the modules, which improves their performance and prolongs the service life.
Energy efficiency
eTile Fusion modules offer high energy efficiency thanks to the use of the latest generation of photovoltaic cells. The system can be equipped with power optimizers that increase energy yields even in partial shading. In addition, the ventilation space under the modules helps to maintain the optimum operating temperature, which translates into higher efficiency.
Realization process
Interested in eTile Fusion? Here's how the process from the decision to the finished installation looks like:
- Initial consultation and technical assessment of the roof
- Preparation of the project and selection of the optimal configuration
- Valuation taking into account all components
- Fulfillment of order (production time about 4-6 weeks)
- Installation by a certified team
- System commissioning and operation training
