Photovoltaic systems

These are roof tiles that generate electricity from sunlight. Each tile has a solar cell and a special built-in coil or transformer that allows it to send or receive power wirelessly from an adjacent tile. The design includes a specific shape, like a molded recess, to help these power transfer components fit together when tiles are installed next to each other.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in high-efficiency, short-range wireless power transfer became more accessible. The cost and size of integrated power electronics have also decreased, making the concept of self-interconnecting solar roof panels more viable.
