Abstract: a configuration for a roofing tile base compatible with both photovoltaic (pv) and non-pv roofing tiles is described herein. the roofing tile base includes a first set of retaining features for being secured to a non-pv roofing tile and a second set of retaining features for being secured to a pv roofing tile. in particular, the roofing tile base includes a number of apertures sized to receive tile hooks positioned on a roof-facing surface of a pv roofing tile. engagement by a respective hook of a portion of the roofing tile base defining the aperture helps to secure the pv roofing tile to the roofing tile base. the roofing tile base also includes retaining features on opposing lateral sides of the roofing tile base that are configured to lock into notches arranged on opposing sidewalls of a non-pv roofing tile.
