Benefits of technology
The invention aims to reduce the power usage of the building's roof-mounted lighting by using solar technology. The controller senses when the battery is low and charges it with solar power during the night when there is no external light. This ensures that the lighting system can be used for up to 24 hours a day without using grid power. The main technical effect of this invention is to lower power costs and minimize energy consumption.
Problems solved by technology
A common drawback to traditional and current Photovoltaic Solar Power systems is that they can be costly and difficult to install.
These factors make Off-Grid Battery system costs very high.
The cost, size and weight of an Off-Grid Battery system can be a major drawback along with the replacement costs of the Batteries when the service life of the batteries is reached.
Mounting and installation can be a major cost and issue for installing Solar power systems onto roof tops, especially in commercial applications where the cost of a leak into the building and potential for damage to inventory or equipment could be very high.
Commercial buildings with metal roofs are made from thin gauge metal and are not designed to support light or even moderate loads on the high rib sections of the metal roof panels.
Any obstructions in the water flow path in the pan section of the roof metal panel can cause water to dam and lead to leaks.

Embodiment Construction
[0075]Manufactured Metal Buildings are designed as a system of components that are assembled on the Building's construction site to create a complete Building Structure. Each component of the Metal Building is pre-fabricated by the Metal Building manufacturer to the required dimensions, Load Bearing strengths, etc as needed for the Building specifications.
[0076]The pre-fabricated components allow a Metal Building to be constructed (assembled) on the Building site very quickly and economically. The pre-fabricated design allows the building to be engineered specifically for the Building's use, required Building Loads and location.
[0077]The Design and Construction of Metal Buildings is very well suited for use of the Solar roof module units which are also pre-fabricated and ready to install during the Metal Building's assembly.
[0078]Metal Building's utilize Metal Roofing panels 100 that are pre-cut to length and are designed for specific placement on the Building's roof.

The Solar Roof Module is a factory assembled Roof mounted Solar Power system that incorporates a Solar panel for generating DC Power, a battery system for power storage which is used by dedicated purpose components such as Lighting, Security and Fire Safety Alarm systems. The solar roof module is operated with advanced management and wireless control features. The solar roof module is incorporated into a Metal Roof Panel that will allow it to be simply installed onto a metal building roof during construction.
Description
PRIORITY OF INVENTION[0001]This non-provisional claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. 119 to provisional application No. 61 / 626,842 titled Solar roof module FOR METAL BUILDINGS, filed on Oct. 3, 2011, by Ralph Gregory Greene which is hereby incorporated by reference for any purpose.[0002]The country code for filing under the Paris Convention is: U.S. 61 / 626,842, with Foreign Filing License Granted Date: Oct. 19, 2011BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A common drawback to traditional and current Photovoltaic Solar Power systems is that they can be costly and difficult to install. Some large Solar Power installations require long term equipment leases or contracts.[0004]In a traditional “Off-Grid” Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Panel and Battery Storage systems, the capacity of the Battery pack would be sized to incorporate a storage factor to allow for up to a 5 days of low or no power from the Sun. Solar energy from the Sun is termed “Insolation” and the number of days that a Battery pack can p...
