Abstract
A plurality of pan tiles are disposed in confronting, supported relation on an underlying roof support and in underlying, at least partially supporting relation to plurality of overlapping, exteriorly exposed roof tile. Each pan tile includes a planar base and two oppositely disposed planar side segments extending outwardly from opposite peripheries of said base at a common, preferred obtuse angle. Leading and trailing ends of pan tiles have a greater and lesser transverse dimension respectively, wherein the side segments or oriented in a converging configuration extending from the leading end to the trailing end of the pan tile. Solar energy systems may also be incorporated in the pan tiles and a heat dissipating assembly and/or a stabilizing assembly may also be included.
Claims18
A roofing assembly disposed on an underlying support and including a plurality of exposed roof tiles, said roofing assembly comprising:
- a plurality of pan tiles;
- at least some of said pan tiles including a base and two oppositely disposed side segments,
- said base at least partially disposed in confronting relation to the underlying support and said two side segments extending outwardly from said base at predetermined angles,
- said plurality of pan tiles disposed in a plurality of elongated rows;
- correspondingly disposed pan tiles of laterally adjacent ones of said plurality of rows disposed at a predetermined spacing from one another,
- said predetermined spacing sufficient to facilitate at least some of the plurality of roof tiles being concurrently disposed in overlying relation to correspondingly disposed side segments of said corresponding pan tiles of said adjacent ones of said plurality of rows,
