Each roof panel also includes a bypass diode to ensure that reduced output from one collector does not affect the others. Energy loss from light reflection has been significantly reduced, and compared to conventional solar collectors, the solar roof tiles generate much more electricity even under low light conditions or with suboptimal orientation.
Glass-glass modules for roof integration
The tiles are based on standard concrete roof tiles and integrate a module, a junction box and two connectors for system connection. As a result, builders do not need additional support systems or frames, nor must they drill into the roof truss. Instead, the solar tiles are fixed to the roof framework using screws or nails, with series connection established via MC4 connectors. (mfo)
