Abstract

A system includes a steep sloped roof having a roof deck, a ridge, and a ridge cap installed on the ridge. A plurality of photovoltaic modules is installed on the roof deck and arranged in an array. The array includes a first side. A wireway is installed proximate to the first side of the array and a cover is installed on the wireway. The cover includes an upper end that overlays at least a portion of the ridge cap.

Claims (70)

1 . A system, comprising:

a steep sloped roof,

wherein the roof includes a roof deck and a ridge;

a ridge cap installed on the ridge;

a plurality of photovoltaic modules installed on the roof deck,

wherein the plurality of photovoltaic modules is arranged in an array,

wherein the array includes a first side;

a wireway installed proximate to the first side of the array; and

a cover installed on the wireway,

wherein the cover includes

an elongated body having an upper end, and

a tab extending from the body at the upper end, and

wherein the tab overlays at least a portion of the ridge cap.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a top section and side sections extending from the top section wherein the tab includes an upper portion, and wherein the upper portion of the tab extends from the top section of the body.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the body includes a first portion and a second portion attached to the first portion, and wherein the second portion includes the tab.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the second portion is removably attached to the first portion.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the ridge cap includes a first side, and wherein the tab overlays the first side of the ridge cap.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the first side of the ridge cap is sloped.

7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the cover is moveable in at least a first direction that extends along the first side of the ridge cap, and wherein the tab is configured to be positioned along the first side of the ridge cap.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least a first direction includes a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction.

9 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the tab is attached to the first side of the ridge cap.

10 . A system, comprising:

a steep sloped roof,

wherein the roof includes a roof deck and a ridge;

a ridge cap installed on the ridge;

a plurality of photovoltaic modules installed on the roof deck,

wherein the plurality of photovoltaic modules is arranged in an array,

wherein the array includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side;

a first wireway installed proximate to the first side of the array;

a second wireway installed proximate to the second side of the array;

a first cover installed on the first wireway; and

a second cover installed on the second wireway,

wherein each of the first cover and the second cover includes an upper end,

wherein the upper end of the first cover overlays a first portion of the ridge cap, and

wherein the upper end of the second cover overlays a second portion of the ridge cap.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein each of the first cover and the second cover includes an elongated body and a tab extending from the body at the upper end thereof, and wherein the tab of the first cover overlays the first portion of the ridge cap and the tab of the second cover overlays the second portion of the ridge cap.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the body of each of the first cover and the second cover includes a first portion and a second portion attached to the first portion of the body, and wherein the second portion of the body includes the tab.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the second portion of the body of each of the first cover and the second cover is removably attached to the first portion of the body.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the ridge cap includes a first side, wherein the tab of the first cover and the tab of the second cover overlay the first side of the ridge cap.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein each of the first cover and the second cover is moveable in at least a first direction that extends along the first side of the ridge cap, and wherein each of the tabs of the first cover and the second cover is configured to be positioned along the first side of the ridge cap.

16 . A system, comprising:

a steep sloped roof,

wherein the roof includes a roof deck and a ridge,

wherein the roof deck includes a first sloped side and a second sloped side, wherein the ridge is between the first sloped side and the second sloped side;

a ridge cap installed on the ridge,

wherein the ridge cap includes a first side and a second side;

a first plurality of photovoltaic modules installed on the first sloped side of the roof deck,

wherein the first plurality of photovoltaic modules is arranged in a first array,

wherein the first array includes a first side and second side opposite the first side of the first array;

a second plurality of photovoltaic modules installed on the second sloped side of the roof deck,

wherein the second plurality of photovoltaic modules is arranged in a second array,

wherein the second array includes a first side and a second side opposite the first side of the second array;

a first wireway installed proximate to the first side of the first array;

a first cover installed on the first wireway;

a second wireway installed proximate to the second side of the first array;

a second cover installed on the second wireway,

a third wireway installed proximate to the first side of the second array;

a third cover installed on the third wireway; and

a fourth wireway installed proximate to the second side of the second array; and

a fourth cover installed on the fourth wireway,

wherein each of the first cover, the second cover, the third cover and the fourth cover includes

an elongated body having an upper end, and

a tab extending from the body at the upper end,

wherein the tab of the first cover overlays a first portion of the first side of the ridge cap,

wherein the tab of the second cover overlays a second portion of the first side of the ridge cap,

wherein the tab of the third cover overlays a first portion of the second side of the ridge cap, and

wherein the tab of the second cover overlays a second portion of the second side of the ridge cap.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein each of the first cover and the second cover is moveable in at least a first direction that extends along the first side of the ridge cap, wherein each of the tabs of the first cover and the second cover is configured to be positioned along the first side of the ridge cap, wherein each of the third cover and the fourth cover is moveable in at least a second direction that extends along the second side of the ridge cap, and wherein each of the tabs of the third cover and the fourth cover is configured to be positioned along the second side of the ridge cap.
