Only a few years ago it all started as a personal matter of taste: When it came to planning his own house construction, Andri Jagomägi (founder) – a scientific researcher at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) in the area of solar energy materials and their applications – wanted an electricity-generating solar roof that looked like a “regular roof”.
As the already existing solutions were costly, bulky and unaesthetic, Jagomägi decided to develop the desired product himself. He founded Roofit.solar in 2016.
