Use and service

A solar roof is an advanced system that will serve you for decades. Although it is designed as a maintenance-free solution, it is useful to know how to care for it and how to react in different situations. In this guide, I will cover the most important aspects of daily use and servicing of your solar roof.

Daily operation

Your solar roof works automatically, converting solar energy into electricity for your home. The system itself adapts to weather conditions and your energy needs. However, in order to make the most of its capabilities, it is worth understanding several key aspects of daily functioning.

First of all, the monitoring system is your daily control tool. It's like a dashboard in a car - it shows the most important operating parameters and warns of possible malfunctions. You will learn how to interpret this data and use it to optimize energy consumption.

Monitoring and optimization

The eTILE monitoring system is much more than just a meter of the energy produced. It's an advanced analytics tool that will help you get the most out of your installation's potential. It shows not only how much energy you produce, but also how you use it and what you can do to increase efficiency.

Of particular importance is the analysis of energy consumption patterns. The system will show you when you use the most electricity and how it compares to periods of greatest production. This information will help you better plan the use of energy-intensive devices and increase the level of self-consumption.

Regular review programme

Just as your car needs periodic maintenance, your solar roof needs regular maintenance. As part of the warranty, we offer a comprehensive inspection program that includes:

Annual technical inspection of the system Inspection of all electrical connections Checking the tightness of the roofing Checking the operation of protections Optimization of operating parameters

Importantly, we can perform some of these activities remotely, without the need to visit the site. Only certain aspects, such as checking physical connections, require the presence of a service technician.

Energy Billing

The photovoltaic energy billing system may seem complicated at first, but I will calmly walk you through it. Understanding how net-billing works and how you can maximize the financial benefits of your installation is key.

In practice, this comes down to proper energy management - the more energy you use on an ongoing basis (instead of giving back to the grid), the greater your savings will be. That is why it is so important to adjust your habits to the rhythm of the installation work.

Responding in special situations

Although the eTile solar roof is designed for trouble-free operation in all conditions, sometimes situations may arise that require your attention. For example:

Extreme weather conditions - the system has built-in protective mechanisms, but it is worth knowing how it behaves during storms or heavy snowfall.

Power outages - the standard installation will shut down automatically, but if you have a power store, some of the circuits may still work.

Roof renovation work - if you are planning any work near the installation, be sure to contact us in advance.

Development and expansion of the system

The eTile solar roof is a modular system that can be expanded with changing needs. Perhaps in the future you will decide to:

Adding energy storage Integration with a heat pump Installation of a charger for an electric car Expansion of the system with additional modules

It is worth knowing the possibilities of developing the system now in order to be able to consciously plan future investments.
