A base tile 100 comprises a substrate 102 having a first surface 104 and an electrical connection system 200 supported by the substrate 102. The electrical connection system comprises a plurality of conducting posts 204. Each post 204 extends from a bottom surface 112 of the base tile 100 toward the first surface 104 of the substrate 102. A free end 206 of each post enables electrical and mechanical connection to a photovoltaic tile 10. The electrical connection system 200 also includes a electrical conductors 200 that electrically connect the posts 202 together.
