Skylight framing system with incorporated drainage
A skylight assembly, having framing members that define an interior space and rafters that span the interior space between framing members, for supporting panes of glass, each pane having at least one structural glass panel and a thermal panel. The framing members have an upper support surface and a main gutter. A structural thermal break connected to each framing member provides a lower support surface. The structural glass panels are fully supported by the upper support surface. The thermal panel is supported by the lower support surface, and is sealed to the upper support surface by a spacer, forming an insulating glass unit therewith. The full support of the structural glass, independent of the support of the thermal panel, allows the skylight to be thermally insulated and walkable. Support blocks extending on each rafter have drainage channels that lead to the main gutters in the framing members.

Glazing and condensation system for solar and glass roof panels for solar energy-producing covers
A glazing and condensation system for roof panels comprises mullions and purlins. Roof panels are disposed above the mullion. A section of double-sided tape is disposed between a first roof panel and the mullion. A section of double-sided tape is disposed between a second roof panel and the mullion. The roof panels can be solar roof panels and/or glass roof panels. A first condensation collection channel is arranged beneath the first roof panel. A second condensation collection channel is arranged beneath the second roof panel. A third condensation collection channel is arranged perpendicular to the mullion, beneath the first roof panel, and above the first condensation collection channel. A fourth condensation collection channel is arranged perpendicular to the mullion, beneath the second roof panel, and above the second condensation collection channel. The condensation collection channels collect condensation and/or drippage from roof panels, and cause condensation and/or drippage to be channeled away from a solar cover. A wire casing includes wires that are connected to solar roof panels.
