Solar roof tile

A roof tile comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a pair of side edges and a pair of end edges, the roof tile comprising an overlapping portion for overlapping an adjacent roof tile and an underlapping portion for underlapping another adjacent roof tile, in which the overlapping portion comprises a solar panel forming the top surface and in which there are provided electrical connectors in communication with the solar panel for connection of the solar panel to a household power supply system, and in which there are provided a pair of male electrical connectors and a pair of complementary female electrical connectors, each of the male electrical connectors and each of the female electrical connectors each being configured for engagement of one of the female electrical connectors and one or the male electrical connectors respectively of an adjacent roof tile, and in which one of the male electrical connectors and the female electrical connectors are located on the underside of the overlapping portion and the other of the male electrical connectors and the female electrical connectors are located on the topside of the underlapping portion, and in which the male electrical connectors extend outwardly from the plane of the roof tile so that the main longitudinal axis of the male electrical connectors is at an angle of 60° to the plane of the roof tile, and in which the free end of the male electrical connectors is angled towards the underlapping portion, and in which the male electrical connectors and the female electrical connectors are positioned so that one of the male electrical connectors will engage a female electrical connector of a first adjacent roof tile in an adjacent row and the other male electrical connector will engage a female electrical connector of a second roof tile in the adjacent row, the first and second roof tiles in the adjacent row being located adjacent to each other.
