Roof tile with a solar battery module

摘要

A tile (1) for attaching a solar battery module (6) to the roof of a house comprises a substantially rectangular plate-like tile body (2). The upper surface (1a) of the tile body (2) has a plurality of projecting portions (7) and a plurality of depressed portions (8) alternately extending over the entire length of the tile in a direction of inclination of the inclined roof. The upper surface (1a) of the tile body (2) also has a recess (4) formed therein for receiving the solar battery module (6). The recess (4) is formed by partially cutting out the projecting portions (7) of the tile body (2). Further, the recess (4) has a bottom portion (4a) to be brought into contact with the reverse surface of the solar battery module (6). The bottom portion (4a) is at a lower level than the projecting portions (7) and at a higher level than the depressed portions (8). The recess (4) also has a plurality of stop portions (4b) to be brought into contact with edge portions of the solar battery module (6) to hold them.
