Solar roof tile assembly

A photovoltaic solar roof tile assembly comprising:

• a roof tile having a front and a rear surface and a single hole extending through the tile;
• and
• a structure attached to the front surface of the roof tile, the structure comprising at least one photovoltaic solar cell, the structure which in operation provides a single positive output and a single negative output, the positive output connected to a positive conductor and the negative output connected to a negative conductor, wherein the positive conductor and the negative conductor extend from the structure attached to the front surface of the roof tile, through the hole of the roof tile to the rear surface of the roof tile.

A method of manufacturing a photovoltaic solar roof tile assembly comprising:

• providing a roof tile having a front surface and a rear surface;
• forming a single hole through the roof tile, the hole extending from the front surface to the rear surface;
• attaching a structure to the front surface of the roof tile, the structure comprising at least one photovoltaic solar cell, the structure which in operation provides a single positive output and a single negative output, the positive output connected to a positive conductor and the negative output connected to a negative conductor, wherein the positive conductor and the negative conductor are extended from the structure attached to the front surface of the roof tile, through the hole of the roof tile to the rear surface of the roof tile.
