A base tile 100 comprises a substrate 102 having a first surface 104 and an electrical connection system 200 supported by the substrate 102. The electrical connection system comprises a plurality of conducting posts (204, Fig 3). Each post (204) extends from a bottom surface 112 of the base tile 100 toward the first surface 104 of the substrate 102. A free end (206, Fig 3) of each post goes through a hole 122 in the first surface and may enable electrical and mechanical connection to a photovoltaic tile (10, Fig 14). The electrical connection system 200 also includes electrical conductors (202, Fig 3) that electrically connect the posts (204) together. The electrical connection system may be suitable for use with a photovoltaic roof tile. |
