Abstract
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.
