The content of this paper is about designing and analysing the performance of a photovoltaic roofing tile. Though adequate housing is a human right, it appears not to have been awarded due priority. Energy which is one of the commodities that makes a house liveable has taken over the show while it would be of no value without a hosting roof. This paper attempts to bring a two-in one solution through a photovoltaic (PV) roofing material in the shape of a delta tile which can serve as an electricity supply device. Reviewed studies about PV roofing material relate to the integration of the PV material in the roof with a focus on construction, chemical or mechanical perspectives. Scientific methods explored pertaining to the PV tile topology, the energy yield and its dynamics, the applications and the beneficiaries of the technology are discussed in this paper.
