Abstract

See full text

A roofing apparatus for deflecting precipitation comprises a first roofing panel movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The roofing apparatus further comprises an electrostatic charging device configured to selectively apply an electrostatic force to the first roofing panel to cause movement of the first roofing panel between the retracted position and the extended position. In another example, a method for deflecting precipitation comprises the steps of providing a first roofing panel biased by gravity and applying an electrostatic force to the first roofing panel to cause the first roofing panel to move between a retracted position and an extended position against the bias of gravity.
