I'd consider the moss a good thing. More insulation, more protection
from sun, more thermal mass, somewhere for the bugs to live.

If you really must get rid of it I suppose a spring-tine grass rake
would get most of it out. Failing that, very gently sweep it up into a
dustbin and jetwash it or tumble it, rinse it and spread it out again.

I assume your roof must be quite old as newer roof claddings don't use them.
I would be very careful about doing anything on an old roof other than
getting up there to re-new it as there is a high risk of popping odd
blisters and starting a leak.
Leave the moss alone It won't do any harm.

For cleaning the moss from our flat roof I've found a solution of Jeyes
fluid to work wonders. I would point out that our roof is 'paved' so no idea
if Jeyes would be suitable in your circumstance.

copper salts will kill / prevent moss. I assume you know never to tread
on the chippings.
