Roof support apparatus

An apparatus for supporting a roof panel over a preexisting roof, the roof panel having a corrugation, the apparatus comprising:

• a support structure supported by the preexisting roof, the support structure having a top spacer member;
• wherein the top spacer member includes a slot, and
• a panel support bridge supported by the top spacer member, the panel support bridge comprising a first bridge portion, a second bridge portion, and a central web therebetween, wherein the panel support bridge furthermore includes a tab, and wherein the first and second bridge portions and the central web forming a corrugation are substantially aligned with and support the corrugation of the roof panel;
• and
• wherein the panel support bridge is secured to the top spacer member by inserting the tab into the slot.
