Solar roof structure

A solar roof tile system for a building, the system including:

• a plurality of solar roof tiles adapted to be releasably engaged on a supporting structure mounted to a roof of the building in operative positions, wherein each solar roof tile includes one or more junction boxes for electrically connecting to another solar roof tile or to an electrical junction box to form a series electric circuit;
• one or more electrical junction boxes configured to electrically connect the plurality of solar roof tiles to an electrical inverter and/or solar battery system;
• a plurality of electrical cables for electrically connecting the junction boxes of each solar roof tile and the one or more electrical junction boxes;
• wherein the electrical cables include a flexible protective coating that is non-conductive and formed of a cut resistant material;
• and
• wherein the protective coatings are colour coded such that cables of a first colour are to be connected to positive junction boxes while cables of a second colour are to be connected to negative junction boxes;
• wherein the supporting structure and the one or more solar roof tiles collectively define a roof of the building having an internal roof cavity;
• and
• wherein one or more of the solar roof tiles are adapted to be releasably engaged with the supporting structure such that the one or more solar roof tiles can be independently released from the roof to access the roof cavity without removing adjacent solar or non-solar roof tiles.
