Roofit.solar process innovation for developing software and automated production line

About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Roofit.solar is Estonian company, whose innovative metal roof replaces traditional solar panels with a 2in1 roofing <span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="color: #000000">solution that produces electricity across the thin photovoltaic layer that covers the metal sheet. This makes installation of solar roof the same as that of a regular standing seam metal roof.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: Verdana">The objective of this project is to innovate and automate the production process and sales tools of the innovative and sustainable Roofit.solar metal panels. The focus is on developing a new Roofit.solar software, which can be used globally for designing and planning of metal solar roofs and facades.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000">Project is implemented with a Norwegian partner, a roofing company </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #222222">Søran AS</span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000">, who contributes to the <span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000">success of this project by their knowledge and experience.</span></span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: Verdana">Main target groups are households and building owners (private or public), who want to contribute fighting climate change by having their own “green energy station” i.e metal solar roof. <span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="color: #000000"><span style="font-size: 11pt">The environmental effect can be achieved globally, since our building material is universal and applicable in different climates and geographical locations.

Bilateral cooperation results

The Norwegian partner was only active at the beginning of the project and unfortunately was not very interested in contributing during the entire 3 years. Additionally, 2 years of COVID travel restrictions affected the partnership.
