Insulated modular roof system

An insulated modular roof system for a roof structure comprising:

• a plurality of modular panels suitable for installation onto the roof structure;
• and
• a water-proof membrane,
• wherein each of said plurality of modular panels comprises:
• an insulating layer having a plurality of lateral edges;
• wherein each one of said plurality of lateral edges provides either a step-like configuration or a reverse step-like configuration;
• and
• wherein, when installed on the roof structure, the plurality of modular panels are positionable so as to place the plurality of lateral edges of any two adjacent modular panels in a generally overlapping arrangement.

A modular roofing panel suitable for installation onto a roof structure, the modular roofing panel comprising:

• a first planar member;
• an insulating layer covering substantially all of the first planar member;
• and
• a plurality of lateral edges;
• wherein each one of said plurality of lateral edges provides either a step-like configuration or a reverse step-like configuration;
• and
• wherein, when a plurality of modular panels is installed on the roof structure, said plurality of modular panels are positionable so as to place the plurality of lateral edges of any two adjacent modular panels in a generally overlapping arrangement.

A modular panel suitable for installation onto the roof structure, the modular panel comprising:

• a section of water-proof membrane;
• an insulating layer having a plurality of lateral edges;
• wherein each one of said plurality of lateral edges provides either a step-like configuration or a reverse step-like configuration;
• and
• wherein, when installed on the roof structure, the plurality of modular panels are positionable so as to place the lateral edges of any two adjacent modular panels in a generally overlapping arrangement.
