Abstract
A slim seam roofing panel comprises a generally planar roofing panel section, a first, upstanding male section integrally connected to the panel section, and a second, upstanding female section integrally connected to the panel section at a location remote from and parallel with the male section for mounting over the male section of an identical adjoining roofing panel so as to form a slim seam. The male section includes a vertical portion that is received within the female section, a lower arcuate mounting portion and parallel upper and lower horizontal extension portions. The female section includes two parallel vertical spaced-apart portions that receive the male section vertical portion, and a horizontal extension portion that is received within the male section horizontal extension portions. The roofing panel also comprises an anchoring member that captures the male section arcuate mounting portion.
