a plurality of rafters;
a plurality of roofing panels comprising at least a first roofing panel and a second roofing panel positioned on opposite sides of at least one rafter;
a first connector positioned on the at least one rafter, between the at least one rafter and a bottom surface of each of the first roofing panel and the second roofing panel, and secured to the at least one rafter and to each of the first roofing panel and the second roofing panel such that the first roofing panel and second roofing panel are releasably secured to the at least one rafter; and
a second connector positioned opposite the first connector along an upper surface of each of the first roofing panel and the second roofing panel; and
wherein adjacent peripheral side portions of the first roofing panel and second roofing panel are engaged and held between the first connector positioned along the bottom surfaces of the first roofing panel and the second roofing panel and the second connector positioned along the upper surfaces of the first roofing panel and the second roofing panel so as to couple the first roofing panel and second roofing panel together along the at least one rafter;
a membrane positioned over an upper surface of at least one of the first roofing panel and the second roofing panel and configured to at least partially overlap an upper surface of at least one roofing panel positioned downslope from the first roofing panel or the second roofing panel so as to form a seal configured to resist migration of water between the adjacent roofing panel and the first roofing panel or the second roofing panel.
