Abstract

A tile or plate, includes: an upper plate (3) and a lower plate (4); wherein a plurality of heat conducting cavities (6) are uniformly provided between the upper plate (3) and the lower plate (4) via connecting ribs (5). A solar collection layer is provided on an upper surface of the tile or the plate. Two ends of the tile or the plate are connected with each of the plurality of the heat conducting cavities (6) via transverse connecting pipes (23, 37, 42). The transverse connecting pipes (23, 37, 42) of two neighboring tiles are connected by a ferrule (17) or a hose (36) to form an integrated circulation system. The tile or plate has a large day-lighting area and a high energy conversion rate.
