New PV Micro-Modules on Standard Roof Tiles

Abstract

Various technologies available on the solar photovoltaic cell market have been reviewed. The method of photovoltaic micro-modules implementation on standard roof tiles was shown. The possible roof tiles were chosen. Problems related to micro PV modules design and concept of final product developed at Electrotile Company have been described. It was shown that solar panel modules consisting of 6 two-cell setups on the Tysenia roofing tile generated power of 38.5 W or 42 W, depending on cell type.
