    摘要: A system includes first and second photovoltaic modules, each of which includes a first side lap portion, a plurality of solar cells arranged in a plurality of rows, a first electrical connector on the first side lap portion and electrically connected to the first row of the solar cells, and a second electrical connector on the first side lap portion electrically connected to the second row of the solar cells. The system includes a first power electronics unit connected to the first and second electrical connectors of the first photovoltaic module; and a second power electronics unit connected to the first and second electrical connectors of the second photovoltaic module. The first power electronics unit is electrically connected to the second power electronics unit.

    摘要: A cap shingle configured to be installed over a hip or ridge of a roof structure, and a method for creating scored hinge lines in hip and ridge cap shingles during manufacturing while minimizing the likelihood of breakage along the scored hinge lines due to lane tension are disclosed. The method includes forming score lines with a scoring cylinder across lanes of shingle material just before the lanes are cut into individual cap shingles with a pattern cutter. The scoring cylinder and pattern cutter are controlled so that the score lines are consistently applied along the centerlines of the cap shingles.

    摘要: A passive vent balances the competing demands of high airflow and security against intrusion of unwanted debris, precipitation and pests. The vent sits proud of the tiles in its course, and protrudes forwardly over the tiles in the course below, such that a large airflow volume is provided. Vents are positioned and configured to prevent pest incursion, precipitation ingress, and debris buildup

    摘要: This invention relates to a roof tile comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a pair of side edges and a pair of end edges. The roof tile comprises an overlapping portion for overlapping an adjacent roof tile and an underlapping portion for underlapping another adjacent roof tile. The overlapping portion comprises a solar panel forming the top surface and there are provided electrical connectors in communication with the solar panel for connection of the solar panel to a household power supply system. Ideally, a plurality of the roof tiles may be connected together to provide more electricity and each roof tile is provided with connectors for connection of the roof tile to other roof tiles. In this way, the solar panel will be integrated seamlessly into the roof, will not be proud of the roof and will not require a frame for mounting on the roof.
