The disclosure provides a photovoltaic vehicle roof. The photovoltaic vehicle roof comprises a structural layer including a flat-plate or single-curve surface shaped power generation zone (4) and a transition zone disposed around the power generation zone (4), and a photovoltaic module layer including a flexible photovoltaic thin-film module (1) secured to an upper surface of the power generation zone (4). The present disclosure adopts a single-curve surface or flat-plate shaped power generation zone (4), and only needs to lay the flexible photovoltaic thin-film module (1) on the power generation zone (4). The process is simple and convenient, and can effectively prolong the service life of the photovoltaic vehicle roof since no complex stress will be generated.
