Abstract (en)
An illuminated exterior roofing structure (20) has rafters (10) supported by the building, a plurality of pan tiles (30) supported by the rafters (10), and a plurality of convex roof tiles (50) positioned over the pan tiles (30). Each of the pan tiles (30) has a concave body (32) having a top surface (34) and an opposed bottom surface (36) connected by a perimeter edge (38), and is constructed of a light transmitting material. A light generating element (68) is mounted adjacent the perimeter edge (38) to direct generated light into the pan tile (30). A power distribution network (74) provides electric power to the light generating elements (68) of the pan tiles (30). The plurality of convex roof tiles (50) are mounted on top of and partially covering the pan tiles (30), and are adapted to resemble traditional roof tiles.
