When an Architect Builds for Himself: The Story of Conscious Choice

“As an architect, I make decisions about building materials for my clients every day. But when it came to choosing a roof for my own home, I felt a special responsibility,” recalls Anna, co-owner of a renowned architectural studio and investor.

The house of Anna and her husband, located on the edge of the forest, is an example of modern architecture, where every detail has been carefully thought out. A simple, pitched block with a gray facade was to be crowned with a traditional hipped roof. “We had already practically ordered the material when a chance meeting in the roofing warehouse completely changed our plans,” says Anna.

Moment of discovery

“I saw a sample of the eTile Flat system and knew right away that this was the solution we were looking for,” he recalls. “As an architect, I'm always looking for products that combine functionality with aesthetics. The eTile system was a perfect fit for this philosophy.”

From concept to implementation

The implementation process went smoothly thanks to professional support from Electrotile. “Within two weeks of the order, the material was already under construction. I especially appreciate the comprehensive approach - we received not only the product, but also full technical and design support.”

Technical parameters:

• Sistema: eTile Flat
• Installation power: 15 kWp
• Active roof area: 95 m²
• Annual energy production: about 14,250 kWh
• Energy storage: preparation for future installation

Living under a smart roof

“After a year of use, we can say that the decision to choose the eTile Flat was a hit,” admits Anna. “The system not only meets our energy expectations, but also fits perfectly into the architecture of the house. Guests are often surprised to learn that our roof produces energy - they think it's just a sheet metal for the hem.”

Tip for future investors:“It is worth considering a solar system already at the design stage of the house,” advises Anna. “This allows you to optimally plan the orientation of the building and the angle of inclination of the roof, maximizing the subsequent energy production.”

Did you know that... The eTile Flat system installed on this house uses a special anti-reflective coating that not only increases efficiency, but also minimizes glare while maintaining the matte finish characteristic of traditional sheet metal at the hem.
