The present invention relates to systems, methods and components for building integration of panels such as photovoltaic panels or cells (BiPV), solar panels based on circulation of air or water through the panels for heating purposes or insulating roof panels or similar. The present invention can be used with any roofing structures such as shade structures, canopies, car ports, covered car parks, bus stop roofs, train station roofs, awnings, arenas, some warehouses, etc. An assembly is described for forming a cover on a roofing structure comprising horizontal first support members and panels, the assembly comprising:
a plurality of rectangular panels having ends and sides, the panels being for arrangement in a first row and a second row
second support members for attachment to at least one side of each of the panels, the second support members having outwardly extending flanges at a lower side thereof for support of the sides of the panels, the second support members extending along the complete sides of the panels, and
fixing means for fixing the second support members to an underlying first support member, wherein the second row of panels is for arrangement in a shingled manner with the first row of panels. |
