The present invention relates to photovoltaic roofing tiles and methods of manufacturing them. One aspect of the present invention is a photovoltaic roofing tile comprising: a polymeric carrier tile having a top surface and a bottom surface; and a photovoltaic element affixed to the polymeric carrier tile, the photovoltaic element having a bottom surface and a top surface having an active area. Another aspect of the invention is a method of making a photovoltaic roofing tile comprising inserting into a compression mold a polymeric tile preform having a top surface and a bottom surface, and a photovoltaic element, a surface of the photovoltaic element being disposed adjacent to a surface of the polymeric tile preform; compression molding the polymeric tile preform and the photovoltaic element together to form an unfinished photovoltaic roofing tile; and finishing the unfinished photovoltaic roofing tile to provide the photovoltaic roofing tile.

La présente invention concerne des tuiles photovoltaïques et des procédés de fabrication associés. Un aspect de la présente invention est une tuile photovoltaïque qui comprend : une tuile de support polymère qui possède une surface supérieure et une surface inférieure ; et un élément photovoltaïque fixé à la tuile de support polymère, l'élément photovoltaïque possédant une surface inférieure et une surface supérieure qui possède une zone active. Un autre aspect de l'invention est un procédé de fabrication d'une tuile photovoltaïque qui consiste à insérer dans un moule de compression une préforme de tuile photovoltaïque qui possède une surface supérieure et une surface inférieure, et un élément photovoltaïque, une surface de l'élément photovoltaïque étant disposée de façon adjacente à une surface de la préforme de tuile photovoltaïque ; à mouler par compression la préforme de tuile photovoltaïque et l'élément photovoltaïque ensemble pour former une tuile photovoltaïque non finie ; et à finir la tuile photovoltaïque non finie pour fournir la tuile photovoltaïque.
