HAVE QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.
Do I need a new roof before installing solar panels?
If your roof is near the end of its lifespan (typically 20–30 years for asphalt shingles), it’s best to replace it before installing solar panels. A sturdy roof ensures your solar investment is protected and avoids the need to remove panels for future repairs.
Can solar panels be installed on all types of roofs?
Solar panels can be installed on most roof types, including:
• Asphalt shingles
• Metal roofs
• Tile roofs
• Flat roofs
However, the installation process and costs may vary depending on the material and roof structure.
Does installing solar panels damage my roof?
No, when installed by professionals, solar panels do not damage your roof. We use industry–standard mounting systems that ensure a secure installation while preserving your roof’s integrity.
What happens if my roof needs repairs after installing solar panels?
If repairs are required, the panels will need to be temporarily removed. This adds labor costs, so it’s highly recommended to ensure your roof is in good condition before installation.
How do solar panels affect the lifespan of my roof?
Solar panels can protect the portion of the roof they cover from direct exposure to sunlight, rain, and other elements, potentially extending the lifespan of that area.
How much weight do solar panels add to my roof?
Solar panels typically add about 2–4 pounds per square foot to your roof. Most residential roofs can handle this load, but a structural assessment is recommended to ensure safety.
Can I install solar panels on a flat or low-slope roof?
Yes, solar panels can be installed on flat or low–slope roofs using special mounting systems that angle the
panels for maximum efficiency
Do solar panels void my roof warranty?
In most cases, solar panel installation does not void the roof warranty if installed by certified professionals. We work closely with roofing manufacturers to ensure compliance with warranty requirements.
Can solar panels be installed on a roof with shading issues?
Partial shading can reduce the efficiency of solar panels. We use advanced tools to assess shading and recommend solutions, such as optimizing panel placement or using microinverters.
What roof preparation is required before installing solar panels?
• Roof Inspection: Ensure the roof is in good condition and free of damage.
Are certain roofing materials better for solar installation?
Asphalt shingles and standing seam metal roofs are ideal for solar installation due to ease of mounting.
Tile roofs may require additional labor and specialized equipment.
Can solar panels be installed on a roof with a steep pitch?
Yes, solar panels can be installed on roofs with various pitches. Steeper roofs may require additional safety precautions and specialized mounting systems.
How do I coordinate roof replacement with solar installation?
We offer bundled solutions, allowing you to replace your roof and install solar panels as part of a seamless process. This saves time, money, and effort while ensuring a durable, energy–efficient solution.
Does my roof's orientation matter for solar panels?
South–facing roofs are ideal for maximum solar energy production, but east– and west–facing roofs can also generate significant energy. Even a north–facing roof can be efficient provides the slope is low.
How do solar panels impact roof maintenance?
Solar panels require no maintenance and often protect the roof underneath from wear and tear. Regular cleaning and inspections will ensure both the panels and your roof remain in excellent condition.
Do you offer warranties for roofing and solar installations?
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties for both roofing and solar systems, ensuring long–term peace of mind for your investment.
