    摘要: A roofing system with interlocking structural panels that have an outer, exterior side surface adapted to be exposed to weather, and an inner side that faces the interior of a structure when installed. The roofing system generally can include a first plurality of structural panels and a second plurality of structural panels, with at least one of the pluralities of structural panels including roofing panels, and the other plurality of structural panels including photovoltaic modules or solar panels that can be mounted in series with the roofing panels to form the roof structure. The structural panels of the roofing system are configured to act as structural components for construction of a roof structure, and are further adapted and/or constructed to be easily handled and installed by individual installers.

    摘要: In one aspect, the invention is a system for installing solar shingles on a slanted roof, the system, which includes a roofing underlayment on top of the roof and providing mechanical and electrical connection for solar shingles. The system also includes a plurality of rectangular solar shingles, each shingle with a top edge and a bottom edge. A plurality of shingle support brackets rise from the underlayment, with at least some of the brackets having a first channel opening generally downward and at least some others of the brackets having a second channel opening generally upward. In the system, the top edge of each shingle is received into the first channel of at least one bracket and the bottom edge of each shingle is received into the second channel of at least one other bracket. The depth of the first channel is great enough to allow the top edge of a shingle to be inserted far enough for the bottom edge to align with a second channel, and to allow the bottom edge of the shingle to fall into the second channel while the top edge is still retained by the first channel.
