ABSTRACT:
The present invention features a heated roofing system using standard-size roofing shingles each having a resistive heating element. Each shingle is designed to easily connect to a preassembled, flat electrical power cable having slide-on electrical connectors spaced periodically along its length. The power cable is typically supplied rolled so that as each shingle in a course is attached to a roof, the power cable can be unrolled and each subsequent shingle electrically connected to the cable. A power controller having a temperature sensor and a precipitation sensor controls the flow of electrical energy to the shingles. Because the power cable is flat, it lies well beneath layers of shingles and may be folded at the end of a course so that a single cable may supply power to multiple rows of shingles.
