A roof ridge shingle unit including: a substantially elongated cover element shaped like a plurality of shingles longitudinally overlapping partially each other and having a substantially inverted V-shaped transversal cross-sectional configuration defining a pair of opposed side edges and a zenith ridge extending longitudinally therealong between the side edges, the cover element defining a top surface and an opposed bottom surface, the cover element defining longitudinally opposed first and second ends; and a first end attachment provided substantially adjacent the first end and a second end attachment provided substantially adjacent the second end. The first and second end attachments are configured and sized so that the first end attachment of the roof shingle unit is attachable to the second end attachment of a similar roof shingle units so that the roof ridge shingle units are secured to each other in a predetermined positional relationship relative to each other.

A magnetically attached building composite containing at least a first building component and a second building component. The first building component has an upper surface and a lower surface, where the lower surface of the first building component comprises magnetizable or magnetically responsive materials. The second building component has an upper surface and a lower surface, where the upper surface of the second building component is adjacent the lower surface of the first building component, and wherein the upper and lower surfaces of the second building component comprise magnetizable or magnetically responsive materials. At least one of the lower surface of the first building component and the upper surface of the second building component comprise magnetizable materials.

A system includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules, each having a mat with an edge and a spacer with an edge, the edge of the mat being attached to the edge of the spacer. The spacer includes a plurality of support members and a solar module mounted to the support members. Each of the support members includes a ledge. The solar module and the ledge form a space therebetween. The space is sized and shaped to receive an edge of a solar module of another of the photovoltaic modules. The spacer of one of the photovoltaic modules overlays the mat of another of the photovoltaic modules.

A roofing system includes a plurality of riser blocks disposed on a support surface. The riser blocks include a group that is aligned in a row. A batten extends along the row and is supported by the group of riser blocks. The batten includes a first clip portion. A group of roofing panels is disposed along the row and is supported by the batten. Further, each of the roofing panels of the group includes a front surface, a rear surface, and a second clip portion extending from the rear surface. The second clip portion is configured to engage the first clip portion of the batten so as to secure the roofing panels to the batten.

The present disclosure relates generally to roofing systems, for example, suitable for covering the roof of a house or other building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a roofing system that includes a plurality of riser blocks disposed on a support surface. The riser blocks include a group that is aligned in a row. A batten extends along the row and is supported by the group of riser blocks. The batten includes a first clip portion. A group of roofing panels is disposed along the row and is supported by the batten. Further, each of the roofing panels of the group includes a front surface, a rear surface, and a second clip portion extending from the rear surface. The second clip portion is configured to engage the first clip portion of the batten so as to secure the roofing panels to the batten.
