Attached BAPV is to install standard photovoltaic components on the roof through ribs, brackets, etc.; embedded BIPV replaces traditional roof tiles with photovoltaic tiles. Photovoltaic tiles are part of the building. Whether it is attached BAPV or embedded BIPV, the installation on the roof is complicated due to the high installation cost and low installation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The following describes a photovoltaic tile assembly 100 , a photovoltaic system 200 , and a photovoltaic building roof 300 provided according to some embodiments of the present application with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 .

[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, Figure 1 is an exploded structural diagram of a photovoltaic tile assembly according to one embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a structural diagram of a photovoltaic tile assembly according to one embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 is an exploded structural diagram of a photovoltaic tile assembly according to another embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 is a structural diagram of a photovoltaic tile assembly according to another embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 is a structural diagram of photovoltaic tiles in the photovoltaic tile assembly according to the embodiment of Figure 1; and Figure 6 is a structural diagram of a photovoltaic building roof according to one embodiment of the present application. A photovoltaic tile assembly 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application includes: a base plate 110; a plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120, the plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 being disposed on the base plate 110; the photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 including a plurality of photovoltaic tiles 122 and a plurality of connection portions 124, the plurality of connection portions 124 being connected between the plurality of photovoltaic tiles 122 to electrically connect the plurality of photovoltaic tiles 122; wherein the plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are connected in series; or the plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are connected in parallel.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the photovoltaic tile assembly 100 includes a base plate 110 and a plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120. The plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are mounted on the base plate 110 to enable quick installation and fixation of the plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120. The plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 include a plurality of photovoltaic tiles 122 and a plurality of wiring portions 124. The plurality of wiring portions 124 are connected between the plurality of photovoltaic tiles 122 to electrically connect the plurality of photovoltaic tiles 122. That is, the plurality of photovoltaic tiles 122 are connected in series through the plurality of wiring portions 124 to form a series photovoltaic tile branch module 120. By connecting the plurality of photovoltaic tiles 122 in series to form a photovoltaic tile branch module 120, when installing the photovoltaic tiles 122, the photovoltaic tile branch module 120 can be installed as a whole module, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0048] Specifically, a plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 can be set to be connected in series, that is, when a plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are connected in series for installation, a plurality of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are connected in series with each other to form a larger series installation module, and installed on the base plate 110. It can be understood that when the voltage at both ends of a photovoltaic tile branch module 120 allows, a photovoltaic tile branch module 120 can be installed on the base plate 110. In this way, the photovoltaic tiles 122 can be installed more quickly, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0049] Specifically, multiple photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 can be set up to be connected in parallel, that is, when multiple photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are connected in parallel for installation, multiple photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are connected in parallel to each other to form a larger parallel installation module, and installed on the base plate 110. It can be understood that when the voltage across a photovoltaic tile branch module 120 reaches a maximum value, that is, a photovoltaic tile branch module 120 does not allow more photovoltaic tiles 122 to be connected in series, other photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 can be connected in parallel to other photovoltaic tile branch modules 120, that is, multiple photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are set in parallel, and multiple photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 set in parallel can be installed on the base plate 110 as a whole module. In this way, more photovoltaic tiles 122 can be installed on the base plate 110 at one time, achieving faster installation of photovoltaic tiles 122 and improving installation efficiency.

[0050] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, by connecting the photovoltaic tiles 122 in series using the connection portion 124 to form a photovoltaic tile branch module 120, multiple photovoltaic tiles 122 are connected in series to form an easy-to-install module. When the voltage permits, multiple photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are connected in series or in parallel to form a larger installation module installed on the base plate 110, thereby improving installation efficiency and reducing installation costs. It can be understood that the present application realizes the assembly of the photovoltaic system 200 by connecting the photovoltaic tiles 122 in series or in parallel to form a modular component, and installing it on the base plate 110 by assembling the modular components. The entire assembly process is completed on the ground, saving time and effort, improving installation efficiency, and reducing installation and maintenance costs.

[0051] In specific applications, the base plate 110 can be configured as a lightweight thin steel plate, resin plate, plastic plate, fiberglass plate, or composite wood plate, which can be selected according to the specific usage and is not listed here. The base plate 110 is a flat surface with structural parts for overlapping around it. While providing the function of a mounting base, the base plate 110 also has a waterproof function. At the same time, the base plate 110 can be configured in a variety of sizes. The size of the base plate 110 can be flexibly matched according to the area of ​​the roof 310 or the number of photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 to be installed, so as to cover the entire roof 310 or a portion thereof.

[0052] In some embodiments, optionally, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the photovoltaic tile 122 is in the shape of a planar structure or a curved structure.

[0053] Specifically, by setting the shape of the photovoltaic tile 122 to a flat structure or a curved structure, the photovoltaic tile 122 with a flat structure can absorb sunlight more evenly and be used more widely. The photovoltaic tile 122 with a curved structure uses heterojunction cells in the arc portion, which has a low radius of curvature, a large curvature of the curved tile, and a wide range, which can better utilize solar energy and improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic tile 122. Moreover, the photovoltaic tile 122 with a curved structure has strong adaptability and can meet some special occasions, such as outdoor facilities and scenes with terrain restrictions. By setting the shape of the photovoltaic tile 122 to a flat structure or a curved structure, the scope of use of the photovoltaic tile 122 is expanded.

[0054] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the planar photovoltaic tile 122 can absorb sunlight more evenly without the "barrel effect." This type of photovoltaic tile 122 is widely used and suitable for various environments.

[0055] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the curved photovoltaic tile 122 has some special technical effects. For example, the use of heterojunction cells in the curved surface reduces the minimum curvature radius of the curved surface of the curved tile to approximately 50 mm, allowing the curved tile to have a larger curvature and a wider curvature range. This structure can better utilize solar energy and improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic tile 122. In addition, both flat and curved photovoltaic tiles 122 have advantages such as good low-light performance, minimal shadow occlusion, minimal hot spot effect, and strong load-bearing capacity, which can further improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic tile 122.

[0056] In specific applications, different photovoltaic tile structures have their own unique technical effects and advantages. The corresponding flat photovoltaic tiles or curved photovoltaic tiles can be selected according to the application requirements and environmental conditions.

[0057] In some embodiments, optionally, the voltage across each photovoltaic tile branch module 120 is less than or equal to 80V.

[0058] Specifically, by setting the voltage across each photovoltaic tile branch module 120 to be less than or equal to 80V, the energy consumption of the photovoltaic tile 122 can be reduced and its energy efficiency ratio can be improved.

[0059] Specifically, by limiting the voltage across the photovoltaic tile branch module 120 to 80V or less, excessive voltage can be avoided to prevent harm to people and equipment, ensuring safe use. Furthermore, an appropriate voltage range helps improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic tile 122, enabling stable operation in various environments.

[0060] Furthermore, by limiting the voltage across the PV tile branch module 120 to 80V or below, the energy consumption of the PV tiles 122 can be reduced, improving their energy efficiency. Furthermore, maintaining an appropriate voltage range helps extend the service life of the PV tiles 122, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement. By controlling the voltage across the PV tile branch module 120 within a certain range, the entire PV system 200 can be easily managed and monitored, ensuring its normal operation.

[0061] Specifically, in the process of manufacturing the photovoltaic tile branch module 120, the photovoltaic tiles 122 are connected in series using the wiring part 124 to form a photovoltaic tile branch module 120, and the voltage across each photovoltaic tile branch module 120 is less than or equal to 80V. It can be understood that when multiple photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 are connected in series or in parallel to form a larger installation module, the voltage across the installation module must also be less than or equal to 80V. In this way, it is possible to avoid excessive voltage causing harm to the human body and equipment, ensure safe use, reduce the energy consumption of the photovoltaic tiles 122, and improve its energy efficiency ratio.

[0062] In a specific application, the voltage across the photovoltaic tile branch module 120 is set to 30V, 40V, 50V, 60V, 65V or 70V, which can be determined based on the actual voltage of a single photovoltaic tile 122 used.

[0063] In some embodiments, optionally, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the photovoltaic tile assembly 100 also includes: an electronically controlled switch 130, the electronically controlled switch 130 is arranged in the photovoltaic tile branch module 120; and / or the electronically controlled switch 130 is arranged between the photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 connected in series; and / or the electronically controlled switch 130 is arranged between the photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 connected in parallel.

[0064] Specifically, the photovoltaic tile assembly 100 also includes an electronically controlled switch 130. The electronically controlled switch 130 is disposed within the photovoltaic tile branch module 120; and / or between photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 connected in series; and / or between photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 connected in parallel. By disposing the electronically controlled switch 130 between different photovoltaic tiles 122, or between photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 connected in series, or between photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 connected in parallel, an intelligent shutdown function is provided, intelligently controlling the output voltage and current of the photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 or photovoltaic tile 122 array, ensuring stable operation of the photovoltaic system 200. This protects the battery pack and solar cells from damage during charging, discharging, and load management. This allows for effective control of the photovoltaic system 200, enabling power outages in the event of a system failure or power outage, ensuring safe system operation and enhancing the safety and reliability of the photovoltaic tile assembly 100.

[0065] Specifically, by setting the electronically controlled switch 130 between different photovoltaic tiles 122, or between photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 connected in series, or between photovoltaic tile branch modules 120 connected in parallel, and by controlling the output voltage and current of the photovoltaic tile branch module 120 or the photovoltaic tile 122 array, the battery pack and solar cells can be protected from damage such as overvoltage and overcurrent, thereby extending their service life. Through the electronically controlled switch 130, effective control of the photovoltaic system 200 can be achieved, including charging, discharging, load management, etc., thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the photovoltaic system 200 and achieving effective control. When the photovoltaic system 200 fails or the power is interrupted, the electronically controlled switch 130 can quickly cut off the output circuit to avoid faults such as circuit short circuit and overvoltage, thereby ensuring the safety of the system operation. Through the electronically controlled switch 130, the photovoltaic system 200 can be conveniently maintained and managed, including troubleshooting, battery replacement, etc., thereby improving work efficiency and convenience.

[0066] In specific applications, the electric switch 130 can be specifically set as a power electronic control, which can provide an intelligent shutdown function and, optionally, a power optimization function and an inversion function of maximum power tracking. By setting up the power electronic control, high-voltage direct current can be avoided in the photovoltaic tiles 122 installed on the roof 310, making the entire photovoltaic tile assembly 100 safer to use and ensuring that the power generation of the photovoltaic tile assembly 100 is maximized.

[0067] In some embodiments, optionally, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , there are multiple electronically controlled switches 130 .

[0068] Specifically, multiple electronically controlled switches 130 are provided. By configuring multiple electronically controlled switches 130, the photovoltaic circuit can be divided into multiple independent control segments, enabling independent control of each segment, i.e., segmented control. Each electronically controlled switch 130 has a protection function that protects the circuit from damage such as overvoltage and overcurrent, ensuring safe operation of the circuit. By configuring multiple electronically controlled switches 130, flexible control of the photovoltaic circuit can be achieved, allowing for different configurations and controls based on actual needs.

[0069] Specifically, multiple electronically controlled switches 130 are provided. By configuring multiple electronically controlled switches 130, precise control of the photovoltaic circuit can be achieved, improving the power generation efficiency and stability of the photovoltaic system 200. Furthermore, configuring multiple electronically controlled switches 130 facilitates maintenance and management of the photovoltaic circuit, including troubleshooting and battery replacement, thereby improving work efficiency and convenience. By configuring multiple electronically controlled switches 130, the cost of each individual electronically controlled switch 130 can be reduced, and the cost of the entire photovoltaic system 200 can also be reduced. The configuration of multiple electronically controlled switches 130 can enhance the reliability of the photovoltaic system 200, reduce the probability of failure, and improve the stability and safety of the photovoltaic system 200.
