New type of photovoltaic module integrated with roofing material (highly fire-resistant PV tile)

A new type of photovoltaic (PV) module integrated with roofing material (a highly fire-resistant PV tile) has been developed. It offers many attractive features, such as a lower cost, simpler construction, better design, and greater fire resistance than previous modules, and it promises to help accelerate the use of PV modules in residential applications.
