The authors have proposed a new type of solar cell unified with roofing materials. The photovoltaic (PV) shingle offers many features, such as low cost, simple construction and maintenance, good design, and fire resistance, compared with previous modules. The PV shingle was confirmed to have no major problems as a roofing material by environmental, waterproofing and installation tests.
