Roofing + Solar. The Perfect Match

More and more roofing companies are starting to add solar (and batteries) to their product offerings. And why not? You are already on the roof, why not add solar panels while you are up there?

Yes, there are additional engineering and electrical steps to consider, but other parts of the battle are already won. In fact, some customers prefer to add solar panels right after they have replaced their roof. Why do you ask? Because when you have a new roof, it means for the next 15-20+ years you will not need to worry about the cost to remove the panels, replace the roof, and then re install panels again, the cost of which can be $5,000+.

There are warranties to consider as well. Things can get quite messy when two different companies are working on the same roof and trying to honor warranties. Unsure of where to place blame if there is an issue. Some roofing companies will void their warranty if panels are installed on their roof. Consider the peace of mind the customer can expect when their warranties are held for both the roof and the solar panels by the same company.

To make things easier on roofers, they can simply partner with a solar company in the beginning to help them understand the process better, until they are able to manage on their own. Solar companies will generally welcome roofers with open arms because it means a new lead source along with other added benefits.

Tesla still holds the top spot in terms of roofing products with its extraordinary product, The Solar Roof. A premium roof that also produces energy without the look of panels because the electricity producing cells are built right into the roof tiles. Tesla encourages roofers to become certified in this product so that more of them can be installed around the country.
