A roof panel includes a planar body having top and bottom edges, with a downturn edge extending therebetween, and an opposing channel edge. The downturn edge overlays a channel edge of an adjacent panel. The bottom edge overlays a top edge of another adjacent panel. A plurality of courses extends between the channel and downturn edges. Each course includes a nesting ridge to receive the downturn edge of an adjacent panel and to position a top surface of the panel flush with adjacent panels. Surface channels and contoured ridges are defined within each course. A drain aperture of the drip edge aligns with an adjacent channel edge to direct material through the drain aperture and onto adjacent panels. A gable member engages an edge when the panel has one or fewer laterally adjacent panels, wherein the gable member is flush with the adjacent planar body.

The interlocking metal roofing panel system of claim 1, wherein the attachment clip includes an elongated fastening aperture. 9. A modular roof panel comprising: a generally planar panel having a top connection edge, a bottom drip edge opposite the top connection edge, first and second side edges extending generally perpendicular between the top connection edge and the bottom drip edge, wherein a drain channel is defined within the planar panel proximate the first side edge, the drain channel substantially extending between the top connection edge and the bottom drip edge, wherein the second side edge includes a downturned edge, wherein the bottom drip edge include a drain aperture proximate the second side edge, and wherein the drain aperture is configured to substantially align with a laterally adjacent drain channel of a laterally adjacent planar panel;a plurality of courses defined within the planar panel extending between the first and second side edges, wherein each course includes a nesting ridge positioned substantially parallel with the drain channel and positioned between the drain channel and the second side edge, each nesting ridge configured to receive a laterally adjacent downturn edge of a second laterally adjacent modular roof panel to position a top surface of the planar panel substantially flush with an adjacent top surface of the second laterally adjacent modular roof panel; andat least one surface channel defined within each of the plurality of courses. 10. The modular roof panel of claim 9, wherein an undercut transition is defined between two vertically adjacent courses of the plurality of courses, the undercut transition extending at least between the drain channel and the second side edge, and wherein the undercut transition extends beneath at least one of the two adjacent courses. 11. The modular roof panel of claim 9, wherein a clip receiving pocket is defined within a portion of the planar panel and positioned proximate a nesting edge of at least one of the plurality of courses, wherein the clip receiving pocket is configured to receive an attachment clip for biasing the planar panel against a roof structure. 12. The modular roof panel of claim 11, wherein the clip receiving pocket includes a compression receiving surface that is recessed within the top surface of the planar panel. 13. The modular roof panel of claim 12, wherein a plurality of positioning walls extend upward from the compression receiving surface to the upper surface, and wherein the compression receiving surface is positioned at a declining angle in a direction of the drain channel such that the compression receiving surface is in communication with the drain channel. 14. The modular roof panel of claim 12, wherein the drain channel includes first and second sidewalls extending from a bottom surface of the drain channel, wherein the first sidewall extends from the drain channel to the first side edge of the planar panel, and wherein the second sidewall extends from the drain channel to the nesting ridges of each of the plurality of courses, wherein the first and second sidewalls each at least partially define the plurality of courses. 15. The modular roof panel of claim 9, wherein a plurality of contoured structural ridges are defined at least within a lower edge of each course. 16. A method for installing an interlocking metal roofing panel system on a roof structure, the method comprising steps of: providing a plurality of metal roofing panels, each having a drain channel disposed proximate a first side edge, a drain aperture disposed proximate a second side edge, a nesting ridge positioned proximate the drain channel and a clip pocket positioned between the nesting ridge and the clip pocket;attaching a first metal roofing panel of the plurality of metal roofing panels on a roof structure;positioning an attachment clip on the roof structure and the first metal roofing panel, wherein a portion of the attachment clip is positioned on an upper surface of the first metal roofing panel within the clip pocket;attaching a leverage section of the attachment clip to the roof structure, wherein attachment of the leverage section causes the attachment clip to rotate about the fulcrum, and wherein rotation of the attachment clip downwardly presses the upper surface of the first metal roofing panel toward the roof structure; andattaching a laterally adjacent metal roofing panel of the plurality of metal roofing panels over at least a portion of the first metal roofing panel such that the drain aperture of the laterally adjacent metal roofing panel substantially aligns and is in communication with the drain channel of the first metal roofing panel and a downturned edge of the laterally adjacent metal roofing panel engages the nesting ridge of the first metal roofing panel, wherein a portion of the laterally adjacent metal roofing panel is disposed under a clipping member of the attachment clip, wherein the clipping member presses the laterally adjacent metal roofing panel in a generally downward direction onto the first metal roofing panel, and wherein the communication between the drain channel of the first metal roofing panel and the drain aperture of the laterally adjacent metal roofing panel is free of interference by the attachment clip. 17.
