Abstract
A roofing system has metal shingles that have formed side lap features that are configured to facilitate alignment of adjacent side lapped metal shingles of a shingle installation along a roofing structure and that couple the metal shingles together and form seals along their side lapped peripheral edges. The metal shingles also can have alignment features that cooperate to align shingles in one course with shingles in a next lower course within their headlap regions.

(canceled)
A roof structure, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a plurality of metal roofing shingles positioned over the substrate, wherein each of the metal roofing shingles comprises:
- a body including:
- an upper surface;
- a lower surface;
- a plurality of peripheral edges including a forward edge, a rear edge, and side edges;
- and
- a pair of substantially flat side lap regions extending along each side edge;
- wherein the upper surface extends between the side edges and is substantially planar from one side edge of the body to an opposite side edge of the body and across the side lap region of each side edge;
- wherein the plurality of metal roofing shingles are configured to be installed along the substrate in a plurality of courses of the metal roofing shingles with at least one side lap region of one or more metal roofing shingles of a same horizontally extending course of the metal roofing shingles overlapping a side lap region of an adjacent metal roofing shingle in the same horizontally extending course of the metal roofing shingles;
- and
- wherein the forward edges of the one or more metal roofing shingles are configured to overlap the rear edges of the metal roofing shingles in a lower course of the metal roofing shingles when installed along the substrate to connect the metal roofing shingles to the one or more metal roofing shingles of the lower course of metal roofing shingles.

A roofing shingle, comprising:
- a body formed from metal and including:
- an upper surface;
- a lower surface;
- a plurality of peripheral edges including a forward edge, a rear edge, and side edges;
- a headlap portion positioned adjacent to the rear edge of the body;
- and
- a pair of substantially flat side lap regions extending along each side edge;
- wherein the upper surface extends between the side edges and is substantially planar from one side edge to an opposite side edge and across the side lap region of each side edge;
- and
- wherein the roofing shingle is configured to be installed along a substrate of a roof in a plurality of courses of roofing shingles, with at least one side lap region of the roofing shingle overlapping and lying substantially flat against a side lap region of an adjacent roofing shingle in a same horizontally extending course of the roofing shingles, and with the forward edge of the roofing shingle overlapping and engaging with a headlap portion of one or more roofing shingles in a lower course of the roofing shingles to connect the roofing shingle to the one or more roofing shingles of the lower course of roofing shingles.
