Solar panel systems are designed to produce for 25 years or more. Your roof needs to last at least as long as the panels on top of it — removing and reinstalling panels later to replace a roof adds real cost.
As a rule of thumb: if your roof is in the first half of its life and in good shape, solar can usually go right on. If it's nearing the end of its life, replacing the roof first — or at the same time — is almost always the better financial decision.
Coordinating both projects with one company means one schedule, one point of contact and a roof warranty and solar plan that work together instead of pointing fingers at each other.
We start with a roof inspection and a solar evaluation at the same visit, so you get one honest answer about sequencing. Solar and roofing work is performed by appropriately licensed professionals or approved partners.
