Metrotile UK has launched eQube, a fullyintegrated solar tile. The tile integrates with the roof, adding no extra height and reducing the need for traditional photovoltaic (PV) panel retrofitting.
Weighing only 1kg per tile, eQube is six times lighter than conventional PV panels, making it suitable for offsite and modular construction.
Each tile produces 67W of power, and 60 tiles generate enough energy for a standard detached house. The eQube has 21 multi-crystalline cells per tile, ensuring that if one fails, the rest of the cells keep working. It is also self-cleaning and operates on daylight energy, rather than sunshine only.
Created in collaboration with Verditek, the eQube is built into Metrotile’s Qube profile, to provide an integrated solar panel that is installed all in one operation.
A 40mm double insulated, UV resistant MC4 connector cable is attached to the rear of every tile, making an easy to fit ‘plug & play’ system.
The product comes with a 25-year guarantee and a 10-year peak performance warranty.
