Abstract
In a roofing structure, two roof panels with different slopes and lengths are positioned back-to-back, the vertical back walls of the panels having a uniform height. The seam between the two differently-sloped panels are connected by a ridge cap set at a uniform height. The ridge cap covers the seam, extending on both sides to a distance from the back walls of the roof panels sufficient to create a capillary break therefrom (preventing moisture migration) and then downwards and slightly towards the back walls of the roof panels, thereby using gravity to direct the water into the downward sloping roof panels.
