Solar roof structure

A roof structure, comprising:

• a support member;
• a plurality of elongate rail members connectable to the support member;
• at least two solar array panels positioned intermediate of the plurality of elongate rail members;
• and
• respective elongate capping members movably connected to each of the plurality of elongate rail members, the elongate capping members being adjustable such that each elongate capping member clamps a solar array panel or panels to a corresponding elongate rail member, wherein each elongate capping member is adjustable from a single location along the corresponding elongate rail member.

A method of forming a roof structure, including the steps of:

• constructing or providing a frame or walls to hold said roof structure;
• attaching a support member or members to the frame or walls;
• connecting at least two elongate rail members to the support member or members in a generally parallel arrangement, each of the elongate rail members having a respective elongate capping member adjustably connected thereto;
• positioning at least two solar array panels between the parallel elongate rail members, wherein the at least one solar array panel is supported on a part of the elongate rail members;
• and
• tightening the respective elongate capping members from a single location along the elongate rail member, such that they bear down on an upper surface of the solar array panels to thereby clamp the panels therebetween.
