A solar energy collection system for a pitched roof covered with roofing plates, with support elements that can be laid in the ridge-eaves direction. The support elements can be laid overlapping one another in the ridge-eaves direction, whereby plate-shaped modules having cells are located on the joist elements butted up against one another or adjacent to neighboring roof covering plates. The length of which modules can be greater than the greatest coverage length of a roofing plate, and the width of which can be greater than the system coverage width of the roofing plate.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An energy collection system for a pitched roof, the roof being covered in part by a plurality of roofing plates, the roof having an upper ridge portion disposed adjacent the roof peak, and a lower eaves portion disposed below the roof peak, which ridge portion and eaves portion define a slope line in a ridge-eaves direction, said energy collection system comprising:at least two energy collecting modules;said at least two energy collecting modules each being disposed at least one of: substantially aligned with another one of said at least two energy collecting modules;a plurality of joist elements configured and disposed to extend substantially in the ridge-eaves direction, and having a ridge-side end and an eaves-side end;each of said joist elements being configured and disposed to support at least one of said at least two energy collecting modules;at least one of said joist elements comprising a support structure; andsaid support structure being configured and disposed to support the eaves-side end of another of said joist elements disposed in the same slope line at a height above said one joist element that is at least equal to the thickness of one of said energy collecting modules so as to permit the movement and adjustment of said another joist element in the ridge-eaves direction over the said one module held by said one joist element.
