Abstract: The energy supply device comprises energy panels (1) in the form of roof tiles, an energy module (300) intended for the absorption of solar energy and connected to a power supply line (33), metallic pipelines (4), which are provided at an external side of a building and support the energy panel, and a coupling device, which is connected with a metal body of the energy panel on one side and the pipeline on the other side for thermal and/or mechanical connections. The device covers a portion of the building. The energy panels are mechanically and thermally connected to the pipeline. The energy supply device comprises energy panels (1) in the form of roof tiles, an energy module (300) intended for the absorption of solar energy and connected to a power supply line (33), metallic pipelines (4), which are provided at an external side of a building and support the energy panel, and a coupling device, which is connected with a metal body of the energy panel on one side and the pipeline on the other side for thermal and/or mechanical connections. The device covers a portion of the building. The energy panels are mechanically and thermally connected to the pipeline. The pipeline comprises a cable channel for housing the power supply line and a fluid channel for transporting a fluid heat transport medium, which transfers thermal energy from the energy panel to a thermal energy sink (400). The pipelines are made of aluminum, are mounted parallel to each other on a roof plate of the building and form a tiling batten for carrying the roof tiles. The pipeline has a first fluid channel, in which the heat transport medium is guided in a direction, and a second fluid channel, in which the heat transport medium is led back. Each energy panel has a connection cable, which is connected with the module and has a connector connectable with a flat ribbon cable guided in the cable channel. The flat ribbon cable comprises current supply line and/or control lines. The individual energy modules are parallely connected with one another through the current supply line. The pipeline has a profile with tubing parts connected with one another over a basic structure. The first and/or second fluid channels are guided into the tubing parts. A profile part guiding the cable channel is arranged on a first tubing part and a carrier plate is arranged on a second tubing part, where an upper side of the carrier plate flatly lies on the energy panel. One of the energy panels is provided with a local control unit, which is connected over the control lines with a central control unit and is fitted to a local current collector provided in the energy panel, a current storage unit or light emitting diodes or to a central current collector for controlling the current delivered from the energy module. The pipelines are provided at their lower side with a coupling groove, in which an assembly profile is fixedly or adjustably kept. The pipelines are connected with one another and/or with the roof plate through the assembly profile. Independent claims are included for: (1) an energy panel for an energy supply device; and (2) a roof tile made of clay for an energy panel.
