Formations are added to the upper and lower side edges of the rear surface of the tile by fusing extra pieces of glass onto the sheet. A flexible photo voltaic cell 12 in sheet form is adhered to the rear surface of the tile 11. The peripheral regions of the rear surface of the tile 11 are coated with a layer 13 of opaque epoxy paint having a similar colour to the colour of the photo voltaic cell 12. The front surface of the glass tile 11 comprises a textured layer 14 formed of a plurality of glass beads which are fused to the glass substrate material.
Description
<p>SOLAR PANEL DEVICES</p>
<p>This invention relates to solar panel devices for mounting on roofs and to a roof assembly incorporating the same.</p>
<p>It is well known to mount solar panels or so-called photo voltaic cells on the roofs of houses and other buildings, in order to generate electrical current from the ambient light. The generated electrical current can be used to power appliances within the building and/or to supply power to the national supply grid.</p>
<p>A disadvantage of known solar panels is that they look unsightly when mounted on the roofs of houses and other buildings. A further disadvantage is that the roofs will often have to be adapted to accommodate solar panels, which is expensive, undesirable and can weaken or damage the roof. Also, planning regulations may prohibit the mounting of solar panels on roofs and/or the adaptation of roofs to accommodate solar panels.</p>
<p>We have now devised a solar panel device which alleviates the above-mentioned problems.</p>
<p>According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a solar panel device comprising a transparent roof tile and a photo voltaic cell mounted to the rear surface of the tile and arranged to generate electrical current from light transmitted through the tile.</p>
<p>In use, the device can be mounted to a roof in place of a conventional roof tile and as such will not look unsightly on a roof. Also, no adaptation of the roof is required because the device is fitted in place of a conventional roof tile.</p>
<p>Photo voltaic cells are generally dark in colour and thus the device closely resembles the dark colour of conventional roof tiles. Thus, a solar panel device in accordance with the present invention does not look out of place on a roof. However, part of the rear surface of the tile may not be covered by the photo voltaic cell and accordingly, means are preferably provided for covering the rear surface of the tile around the photo voltaic cell, so that the solar panel device appears to be of substantially uniform colour when viewed from the front.</p>
<p>The covering means preferably comprises a coating of paint or resin which is applied to the rear surface of the tile.</p>
<p>Preferably the photo voltaic cell is adhered to the rear surface of the tile.</p>
<p>Preferably the front surface of the tile is profiled to match conventional roof tiles.</p>
<p>Accordingly, the rear surface of the tile may also be profiled as a result of the manufacturing process used to form the profiled front surface. In order to prevent voids between the profiled rear surface and the photo voltaic cell, the photo voltaic cell preferably comprises a flexible sheet, which is deformed to substantially conform to the shape of the rear surface of the tile.</p>
<p>Preferably the tile comprises opposite lateral side edges provided with complementary formations for engaging or overlapping the corresponding formations on adjacent tiles in a generally water tight manner.</p>
<p>Preferably the rear surface of the tile comprises projections for engaging roof battens, the photo voltaic cell preferably being disposed remote from said projections.</p>
<p>Preferably the roof tile is formed of glass, which is a strong and hard wearing material.</p>
<p>Preferably the tile is formed by heating a cut sheet of glass in a mould and allowing the glass sheet to slump into the mould profile.</p>
<p>Projections and other formations may be provided on the rear surface of the tile by applying additional glass pieces to the sheet in the mould and allowing the pieces to fuse to the sheet during the slumping process.</p>
<p>Preferably the front surface of the tile is textured to make the tile less reflective. The texture is preferably formed by a plurality of glass beads or particles which are fused to the front surface of the tile. An advantage of this arrangement is that the fused beads or particles form lenses which act to concentrate the light onto the photo voltaic cell and thereby increase its electrical output. Also, the textured surface increases the surface area of the tile, thereby collecting more light which is reflected and refracted towards the photo voltaic cell.</p>
<p>According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a roof assembly comprising at least one solar panel device as hereinbefore described.</p>
<p>Preferably the assembly comprises a plurality of solar panel devices mounted in an array.</p>
<p>Preferably adjacent solar panel devices in the array overlap to prevent the ingress of water.</p>
<p>Preferably the roof assembly also comprises a plurality of conventional roof tiles having a substantially similar shape to the tiles of the solar panel devices, at least some of the conventional roof tiles overlapping with the solar panel devices.</p>
<p>Preferably the solar panel devices are electrically connected to each other and/or to a loom, which extends behind the tiles.</p>
<p>An embodiment of this invention will now be described by way of an example only, and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a solar panel device in accordance with this invention; Figure 2 is a rear perspective view of the solar panel device of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a plan view of the solar panel device of Figure 1; Figure 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-lV of Figure 3; and Figure 5 is a perspective view of a portion of a roof comprising a plurality of the devices Figure 1.</p>
<p>Referring to Figures 1 to 4 of the drawings, there is shown a solar panel device 10 comprising a rectangular roof tile 11 formed of a sheet of glass, which is shaped to match a conventional roof tile by heating the glass sheet in a mould and allowing the sheet to conform to the shape of the mould. Formations are added to the upper and lower side edges of the rear surface of the tile by placing extra pieces of glass into the mould prior to heating and allowing the glass pieces to fuse to the sheet.</p>
<p>A flexible photo voltaic cell 12 in sheet form is adhered to the rear surface of the tile II.</p>
<p>The peripheral regions of the rear surface of the tile 11 are coated with a layer 13 of opaque epoxy paint having a similar colour to the colour of the photo voltaic cell 12.</p>
<p>The front surface of the glass tile 11 comprises a textured layer 14 formed of a plurality of glass beads which are fused to the glass substrate material.</p>
<p>A cable 15 extends from the photo voltaic cell 12 and a connector 16 is provided at the outer end of the cable 16 for connecting the photo voltaic cell to a wiring loom.</p>
<p>Referring to Figure 5 of the drawings, in use, a plurality of solar panel devices are mounted in an array on a roof together with a plurality of conventional roof tiles 17, which surround the array. The tiles 11 of the solar panel devices 10 are substantially identical in shape to the conventional roof tile 17 and the side edges of the tiles 11, 17 sealingly interengage wth each other. The lower ends of the tiles 11, 17 also overlap with the upper ends of the tiles 11, 17 in the row below.</p>
<p>It will be appreciated that the solar panel devices 10 are almost indistinguishable from the conventional roof tiles 17 and thus do not look unsightly. Furthermore, no adaptation of the roof is required and the solar panel devices 10 can either be fitted from new or as replacements to existing tiles.</p>
<p>The current generated by a large array of solar panel devices 10 can be sufficient to power a house and any surplus current can be fed to the national grid or to storage devices.</p>
