  • PHOTOVOLTAIC ROOFING TILE FOOT
    Publication number: 20260196963
    Abstract: A configuration for a foot for a photovoltaic (PV) roofing tile is described. The foot includes multiple retaining features that are engaged by hooks or brackets of adjacent roofing tiles to prevent upward movement of roofing tiles located up roof from the foot. The foot also positions the PV roofing tile a fixed distance above a roofing substrate without the need for applying a set of battens atop the roofing substrate. Non-PV roofing tiles compatible with the describe foot are also described. The non-PV roofing tile is configured so that it can be cut into smaller pieces as needed to fill small openings on a roof top.
