Abstract
A roof construction has a substantially flat, horizontal substrate, which may be of insulating material, having mounted thereon at least one structure having an inclined surface. A membrane of water-impervious material extends over the substrate and over the structure. The portion of the membrane covering the inclined surface of the structure has photocells thereon, the inclination and orientation of the inclined surface being selected for maximum radiation reception from the sun. The structure may be of generally triangular shape, is thermally insulating, and a plurality of parallel structures may be provided, with photocells on parallel, inclined surfaces. The structures may have additional surfaces which are opposite and facing the first mentioned surface of an adjacent structure, which additional surface or surfaces is provided with a reflective film for reflecting radiation into the photocells of the adjacent structure.
