Hey Jen, sorry for the late reply, missed the post!
It is the simplest of simple set ups. The roof rolls on 2 x rails, it is pulled back and forth by a 0.5hp electric motor which runs a continuous loop of stainless steel cable.....motor turns CW and it pulls the roof open, motor turns CCW and it pulls it closed in the opposite direction (via a pully).
The end section of roof is counterweighted and pulls up in to place as the roof closes via a lever that is pushed by the rolling roof.
