Abstract
A glass roof shingle includes a shingle cover layer made of a glass. A shingle base layer is disposed underneath the shingle cover layer. The shingle base layer and shingle cover layer define a cavity. A seal area formed between the shingle base layer and shingle cover layer and around the cavity controls ingress of moisture into the cavity. A photovoltaic module may be disposed within the cavity.
