ABSTRACT:
A modular roof panel assembly for a modular panel system used in constructing relocatable buildings. The roof panel assembly includes a first panel hingedly connected to a second panel for allowing the first and second panels to pivot towards and away from each other about a common axis. The first panel is hingedly connected to the second panel such that a plurality of apertures exist between the first and second panels proximate the common axis and for allowing the panels to be folded to a compact configuration to decrease shipping, handling and storing costs. The assembly includes a ridge cap for preventing water from passing through the apertures between the first and second panels. The ridge cap includes a top panel sized to cover the apertures and is positioned above the first and second panels proximate the apertures. A corresponding plurality of securing tabs integral with the top panel and extending downwardly therefrom extend through the apertures to secure the top panel to the first and second panels. The securing tabs are bent upwardly into engagement with one of the panels to thereby secure the top panel to the first and second panels.
