A roofing tile for the collection of solar energy comprises adjacent insulation and solar energy capture regions 18, 22. In use the solar tiles are laid such that the solar energy capture region 22 of one tile lies above the insulation region 18 of a neighbouring tile such as an upper tile in a pitched roof. Optionally the solar energy capture device 20 is a photovoltaic device or a water heating device. The tile includes connection means 24 on opposite edges to connect the tiles when side by side in the completed roof and allow the solar energy captured to be collected. |
