Claims
- 1. A power-generating roof tile which used as a roofing member for a building and performs solar-light power generation, comprising:
a photovoltaic module having a reverse surface thereof provided with a terminal box, the box being connected to positive-side and negative-side output lead-out cables, each of the cables being a single-core cable; and a tile main body mounted on an inclined roof, and including a recess that receives the photovoltaic module, a terminal-box-receiving recess that is provided at a bottom of the recess and receives the terminal box, and a cable lead-out section that is provided at a portion close to a ridge of the roof, for leading the two output lead-out cables toward the ridge.
- 2. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 1, wherein the cable lead-out section crosses a ridge-side edge portion of the tile main body and communicates with the terminal-box-receiving recess.
- 3. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 1, wherein the cable lead-out section is formed of an opening groove in an upper surface of the ridge-side edge portion of the tile main body.
- 4. A power-generating roof tile which used as a roofing member for a building and performs solar-light power generation, comprising:
a photovoltaic module having a reverse surface thereof provided with a terminal box, the box being connected to positive-side and negative-side output lead-out cables; and a tile main body mounted on an inclined roof, and including a recess that receives the photovoltaic module, a terminal-box-receiving recess that is provided at a bottom of the recess and receives the terminal box, and a cable lead-out section that is provided at a side wall of the receiving recess close to a ridge of the roof, for leading the two output lead-out cables toward the ridge.
- 5. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 4, wherein the cable lead-out section is a hole extending through the side wall.
- 6. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 1, wherein the output lead-out cables are led from a ridge-side side surface of the terminal box.
- 7. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 1, wherein the terminal-box-receiving recess is provided at a width-directional central portion of the tile main body, and the cable lead-out section communicates with a width-directional central portion of a ridge-side side wall of the receiving recess.
- 8. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 1, further comprising a drain section provided in an eaves-side edge portion of the tile main body, the drain section communicating with the recess and crossing the eaves-side edge portion.
- 9. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 4, wherein the output lead-out cables are led from a ridge-side side surface of the terminal box.
- 10. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 4, wherein the terminal-box-receiving recess is provided at a width-directional central portion of the tile main body, and the cable lead-out section communicates with a width-directional central portion of a ridge-side side wall of the receiving recess.
- 11. The power-generating roof tile according to claim 4, further comprising a drain section provided in an eaves-side edge portion of the tile main body, the drain section communicating with the recess and crossing the eaves-side edge portion.
