[0033] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , a photovoltaic tile assembly provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a connection structure 200 and a plurality of photovoltaic tiles 100, wherein the plurality of photovoltaic tiles 100 are arranged along an arrangement direction; each photovoltaic tile 100 includes a first packaging board 110, a second packaging board 120, and a battery cell 130 connected between the first packaging board 110 and the second packaging board 120, which are arranged along a lamination direction, and one of the first packaging board 110 and the second packaging board 120 extends relative to the other, so that a gap is formed between two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100; the arrangement direction intersects with the lamination direction; the connection structure 200 is disposed in the gap and connected to the first packaging board 110 and the second packaging board 120 to connect two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100. As shown in FIG. 2 , the arrangement direction is indicated by arrow X, and the lamination direction is indicated by arrow Y.

[0034] Specifically, as shown in FIG2 , the arrangement of the first encapsulation board 110 and the second encapsulation board 120 allows a gap to exist between two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100. For the photovoltaic tile 100 on the left, since the first encapsulation board 110 extends relative to the second encapsulation board 120, the lower end surface of the first encapsulation board 110 forms a connection surface for connecting with the connection structure 200, and the side surface of the second encapsulation board 120 forms a connection surface for connecting with the connection structure 200, so the first encapsulation board 110 and the second encapsulation board 120 can be connected through the connection structure 200 to achieve reliable encapsulation of the photovoltaic tile 100; for the photovoltaic tile 100 on the right, the upper end surface and the side surface of the second encapsulation board 120 form a connection surface for connecting with the connection structure 200, so the adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100 can also be connected through the connection structure 200, without the need to set a frame structure, so that the space of the battery cell 130 will not be occupied and the battery cell 130 will not be blocked, thereby ensuring the effective power generation area of ​​the battery cell 130; at the same time, the surface of the photovoltaic tile 100 is not blocked by the frame structure, thereby improving the aesthetics of the roof. Among them, the first packaging board 110 can be conductive glass, such as float glass, embossed glass, tempered glass, anti-reflective glass, etc., and the second packaging board 120 can be packaging glass, such as soda-lime packaging glass, ultra-white packaging glass, tempered packaging glass, etc.

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 , in one embodiment, the second package board 120 extends relative to the battery cell 130; the connection structure 200 has a first connection surface 211, a second connection surface 212 and a third connection surface 213 that are adjacent to each other in sequence, the first connection surface 211 and the third connection surface 213 are respectively connected to the lamination surface of the first package board 110 and the side surface of the second package board 120, and the second connection surface 212 is connected to the side surface of the battery cell 130. The lamination surface is the end surface arranged along the lamination direction, for example, the lamination surface of the first package board 110 includes its lower end surface; the side surface is the end surface arranged along the arrangement direction, for example, the side surface of the second package board 120 is its right end surface. The second packaging board 120 extends relative to the battery cell 130, so that part of the connection structure 200 is connected to the battery cell 130, thereby improving the packaging effect of the first packaging board 110 and the second packaging board 120 on the battery cell 130, and at the same time, it can also improve the barrier effect on the battery cell 130 to prevent water vapor erosion. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the side of the second packaging board can also be flush with the side of the battery cell.

[0036] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 , in one embodiment, the first package board 110 and the second package board 120 both extend relative to the battery cell 130, and the connection structure 200 includes a connector 210, a first adhesive 221 is connected between the connector 210 and the laminated surface of the first package board 110, a second adhesive 222 is connected between the connector 210 and the side surface of the second package board 120, and a third adhesive 223 is connected between the connector 210 and the side surface of the battery cell 130. The connector 210 may be a multi-molecule material or a metal material. The first adhesive 221, the second adhesive 222 and the third adhesive 223 can all be solid adhesives, for example, they can be one or more of thermosetting acrylic adhesives, polyester adhesives, polyurethane adhesives, polyamide adhesives, etc., so that the connection structure 200 and the first packaging board 110, the second packaging board 120 and the battery cell 130 can be laminated together under high temperature to achieve the connection between the connection structure 200 and the photovoltaic tile 100, and improve the connection reliability between the two. At the same time, the first adhesive 221, the second adhesive 222 and the third adhesive 223 can all play a waterproof and dustproof effect, improving the waterproof performance of the photovoltaic tile assembly.

[0037] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 , in one embodiment, two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100 are named as the first photovoltaic tile and the second photovoltaic tile, respectively; for example, the photovoltaic tile 100 on the left is the first photovoltaic tile, and the photovoltaic tile 100 on the right is the second photovoltaic tile, and the connection structure 200 further includes a seal 230, and the seal 230 is connected between the first packaging board 110 of the first photovoltaic tile and the second packaging board 120 of the second photovoltaic tile. The combination of the seal 230 and the connector 210 makes the connection structure 200 as a whole approximately T-shaped, and the seal 230 can specifically be a sealing strip, which can be connected between two adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100, on the one hand, realize the connection of adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100, and on the other hand, can seal the gap between adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0038] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 , in one embodiment, the seal 230 is connected to the connector 210, and the seal 230 and the connector 210 are arranged along the arrangement direction. In this way, the connector 210 is used to connect the first package board 110 and the second package board 120 of the same photovoltaic tile 100, and the seal 230 is used to connect the first package board 110 and the second package board 120 of adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100, so as to achieve reliable connection of the photovoltaic tiles 100.

[0039] 2 to 4, in one embodiment, the sealing member 230 and the connecting member 210 are respectively provided with a first clamping portion 214 and a second clamping portion 231 for clamping with the first clamping portion 214. Through the clamping cooperation between the first clamping portion 214 and the second clamping portion 231, the sealing member 230 can be firmly connected to the connecting member 210, thereby improving the connection effect between the two.

[0040] Specifically, one of the first clamping portion 214 and the second clamping portion 231 includes a first protrusion, and the other includes a first clamping groove for clamping with the first protrusion. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 , the first clamping groove is provided on the connecting member 210, and the first protrusion is provided on the sealing member 230, and the first protrusion is T-shaped, and the corresponding first clamping groove is a T-shaped groove, so that when the first protrusion is clamped in the first clamping groove, the first protrusion is not easy to fall out of the first clamping groove due to the limitation of the first clamping groove wall, thereby improving the connection effect of the connecting member 210 and the sealing member 230. Of course, in other embodiments, the setting positions of the first protrusion and the first clamping groove can be interchanged, that is, the first protrusion is provided on the connecting member, and the first clamping groove is provided on the sealing member.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4 , in one embodiment, the end surface of the seal 230 facing the first packaging board 110 and the second packaging board 120 is provided with a plurality of extrusion parts 232, and a deformation groove 233 is provided between adjacent extrusion parts 232. When the seal 230 is clamped between the first packaging board 110 and the second packaging board 120, since the seal 230 is an elastic body and the extrusion parts 232 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces, it can be deformed under the extrusion of the first packaging board 110, and the deformation groove 233 provides deformation space for the extrusion parts 232, thereby increasing the connection effect between the seal 230 and the first packaging board 110 (the second packaging board 120), thereby improving the sealing effect between adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100, and further improving the waterproof and dustproof effect.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 2 , in some embodiments, there is a gap between the first encapsulation board 110 of the first photovoltaic tile and the first encapsulation board 110 of the second photovoltaic tile. On the one hand, it is used as a decorative seam to separate the panels and avoid dullness; on the other hand, it is used as a stress release seam to absorb the deformation of the encapsulation board due to thermal expansion and contraction to avoid the first encapsulation board 110 of the adjacent photovoltaic tile 100 from being crushed.

[0043] Referring to Fig. 5, in another embodiment, part of the seal 230 is connected between the first encapsulation board 110 of the first photovoltaic tile and the first encapsulation board 110 of the second photovoltaic tile. In this way, the seal 230 can not only play a decorative role, but also absorb the deformation caused by thermal expansion and contraction, and can also increase the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the photovoltaic tile assembly.

[0044] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present application also provides a rooftop photovoltaic system, including the photovoltaic tile assembly as described above, which is fixedly connected to the roof, making full use of roof resources to make the roof a photovoltaic power station to provide electricity for residents.

[0045] Since the rooftop photovoltaic system includes the photovoltaic tile assembly of any of the aforementioned embodiments, there is no need to set up a frame structure when installing adjacent photovoltaic tiles 100, so it will not occupy the space of the battery cell 130 and block the battery cell 130, thereby ensuring the effective power generation area of ​​the battery cell 130; at the same time, the surface of the photovoltaic tile 100 is not blocked by the frame structure, thereby improving the aesthetics of the roof.

[0046] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
