Abstract
A roof structure has a supporting base on which a layer of insulating material is placed and over which is a metal layer having water circulating channels. The metal layer is covered by a water proofing layer, the outer surface of which is covered with mineral particles. The roof structure serves both the function of a conventional roof and a solar energy collector.
