1. A master roofing panel for interconnection with one or more slave roofing panels, the master roofing panel comprising:
- a PV cell coupled to an inverter,a wireless power transfer circuitry comprising;
a first coupling circuitry comprising a first receiving inductor and a first rectifier for receiving and rectifying a first power transmitted from one of the one or more slave roofing panels, anda second coupling circuitry comprising a transmitting inductor coupled to the inverter and comprising a second receiving inductor and a second rectifier for receiving and rectifying a second power from the PV cell,wherein the first coupling circuitry and the second coupling circuitry are coupled to a unipolar inverter for transmitting the first power rectified by the first rectifier and the second power rectified by the second power to an AC grid as a unipolar output.
