Photovoltaic solar panel for attachment to a roof tile and method of manufacture thereof

Abstract

A photovoltaic solar panel for attachment to a roof tile can include a printed circuit board, a plurality of photovoltaic solar cells each electrically connected to the printed circuit board, and a front sheet comprising a layer of plastic. The printed circuit board, the photovoltaic solar cells, and the layer of plastic can be at least part of a laminated structure attachable to the roof tile. The layer of plastic can be a layer of transparent, UV-resistant plastic. The layer of plastic can be a layer of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene. A method of manufacture of a photovoltaic solar panel for attachment to a roof tile can include forming a laminated structure by laminating one or more sheets that include a printed circuit board, a plurality of photovoltaic solar cells, and a front sheet. The front sheet can include a layer of plastic that can include ethylene tetrafluoroethylene.
