The method of claim 12, wherein the battens are made of a material selected from the group consisting of molded or hot wire cut polystyrene, molded or extruded polyvinyl chloride (PVC), molded or cut polyurethane, and molded or extruded polyethylene or polypropylene. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the spatial arrangement of the battens on the roof deck results in the eave end of an upper roof tile overlapping the peak end of the adjacent lower roof tile, and the portion of the lower surface of the adjacent upper roof tile adhered to the upper surface of the adjacent lower batten is near the location of tile overlap. 15. A roof tile installation assembly, comprising: a plurality of battens, each having a front end portion and a back end portion, and defining a channel between the front end portion and the back end portion;at least one roof tile having a front end and a back end, the back end having a downwardly protruding flange;wherein in use the plurality of battens are arranged parallel to one another on a rooftop so that the front end portion of each batten is toward the eave of the rooftop and the back end portion of each batten is toward the peak of the rooftop;wherein each roof tile flange is arranged to be received by a batten channel so that the roof tile is substantially constrained from moving forward or backward relative to the batten; andwherein the front end of each roof tile is arranged to be supported by the next adjacent batten;means for fixedly attaching the front end of each roof tile with the back end of at least one forwardly adjacent roof tile; andan end batten proximate the eave of the rooftop, wherein the end batten has the same structure as the plurality of battens, but is reversed so that the back end portion of the batten is toward the eave of the rooftop. 16. The roof tile installation assembly of claim 15, wherein the means is an adhesive. 17. The roof tile installation assembly of claim 15, wherein the front end of each roof tile overlaps the back end of at least one roof tile. 18.
