Roofing Installation System

Abstract

The roofing installation system comprises a plurality of metal battens mounted horizontally onto a plurality of parallel wooden battens, which are mounted vertically over a slope roof. A plurality of link channel brackets having a hook is fastened vertically between a pair of the plurality of metal battens using a latch. A plurality of slate modules is mounted on the plurality of metal battens. Each slate module slides through the plurality of link channel brackets till a bottom portion of the slate module fits into the plurality of hooks. A central grooved portion on the link channel bracket, may act as a drainage channel for the water falling on the slate modules.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A roofing installation system comprising:
 a plurality of metal battens mounted horizontally onto a plurality of wooden battens that is mounted vertically across a slope roof;   a plurality of link channel brackets having a hook fastened vertically between a pair of the plurality of metal battens using a latch;   a plurality of gutters having a rubber extruded rubber horse shoe/U ring on both bended sides thereon mounted vertically onto the plurality of metal battens;   a plurality of slate modules mounted on the plurality of metal battens, each slate module slides through the rubber extruded rubber horse shoe/U ring so that a bottom portion of the slate module fits onto the hook; and   whereby the plurality of gutters provides the channeling of runoff rain water away from the roof of a building.   
     
     
         2 . The roofing installation system of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of slate modules is laminated with a regular junction box. 
     
     
         3 . The roofing installation system of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of slate modules electrically connects in series to form a string. 
     
     
         4 . The roofing installation system of  claim 3  wherein the string is connected to at least one inverter that converts DC electricity fed from the plurality of slate modules to AC electricity and feeds to a utility grid. 
     
     
         5 . The roofing installation system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of gutters is arranged on both sides of the plurality of slate modules. 
     
     
         6 . The roofing installation system of  claim 1  wherein the rubber extruded rubber horse shoe/U ring provides a cushion support to the plurality of slate modules. 
     
     
         7 . The roofing installation system of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of gutters may be selected from a group consisting of galvanized steel, plastic and rubber. 
     
     
         8 . The roofing installation system of  claim 1  wherein the hook may be made of stainless steel. 
     
     
         9 . A method of installing a roofing system comprising:
 a. mounting a plurality of metal battens horizontally onto a plurality of wooden battens that is mounted vertically across a roof;   b. securely fastening a plurality of link channel brackets having a hook between a pair of the plurality of metal battens using a latch;   c. mounting a plurality of gutters having a rubber extruded rubber horse shoe/U ring on both bended sides thereon vertically onto the plurality of metal battens;   d. sliding each of the plurality of slate modules through the rubber extruded rubber horse shoe/U ring so that a bottom portion of the slate module fits onto the hook;   e. electrically connecting each of the plurality of slate modules in series to form a string; and   f. connecting an inverter to each string for converting the DC electricity from the plurality of slate modules to AC electricity.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the plurality of gutters is designed to channel runoff rain water away from the roof of a building. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the plurality of gutters is arranged on both sides of the plurality of slate modules. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the rubber extruded rubber horse shoe/U ring provides a cushion support to the plurality of slate modules. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9  wherein each of the plurality of slate modules is glued to a regular junction box. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the method of installing the roofing system is initiated at the bottom of the slope roof. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the plurality of gutters may be selected from a group consisting of galvanized steel, plastic and rubber. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the hook may be made of stainless steel.
