A system includes a plurality of photovoltaic shingles and a plurality of roofing shingles installed on a roof deck. Each of the roofing shingles includes a headlap portion and a nail zone on the headlap portion. The nail zone includes at least one nail receiving portion, and at least one opening defining a perimeter of at least a portion of the at least one nail receiving portion. Each of the roofing shingles is installed on the roof deck by at least one fastener, which extends through the at least one nail receiving portion.

Roofing system for prevention of roofing shingle deformation

A system, including: a roof deck; a first photovoltaic module above the roof deck, where the first photovoltaic module includes: a first solar cell, where the first photovoltaic module includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end; a first wireway portion above the roof deck, where the first wireway portion is proximate the first end of the first photovoltaic module; and a first cover, where the first cover is removably attached to the first wireway portion, where the first cover comprises: a second solar cell.

Roofing system including photovoltaic module wireway cover, and associated method

A system includes a photovoltaic module having photovoltaic cells, each having a width, and a roofing shingle having an exposure zone and a headlap zone. A plurality of slots extends from the exposure zone to the headlap zone and define tooth portions. A first one of the tooth portions has a first side defined by a first slot and a second side defined by a second slot adjacent to the first slot. The first tooth portion has a first width that is the photovoltaic cell width multiplied by a first positive integer. A second tooth portion has a first side defined by a third slot and a second side defined by a fourth slot adjacent to the third slot. The second tooth portion has a second width that is the photovoltaic cell width multiplied by a second positive integer different than the first positive integer.

Solar roofing system

A system including a plurality of photovoltaic modules and a plurality of roofing shingles installed on a roof deck. Each of the photovoltaic modules includes a plurality of solar cells. Each of the plurality of roofing shingles includes a core layer and a cap layer composed of a first polymer material and having a first surface and a pattern printed on the first surface. The pattern includes a depiction of a plurality of solar cells that extends between the first end and the second end.
