Your roof’s condition matters more than you think before adding solar panels.
Summer heat puts your roof under more stress, and if it is not ready, solar installation could lead to costly repairs later.
Here is how to tell if your roof is ready for solar:
- Age of your roof: Most roofs last 20-25 years. If yours is older or nearing that age, consider repairs or replacement first.
- Roof material: Some materials handle solar installation better, like asphalt shingles or metal, while others may need extra care.
- Structural integrity: Look for damaged or missing shingles, leaks, or sagging areas that need fixing.
- Professional inspection: A qualified installer like Inverted Electric will assess your roof’s condition, including its ability to support solar panels safely.
We recommend scheduling your roof inspection well before summer to avoid delays and unexpected issues.
At Inverted Electric, we bring over 20 years of local electrical expertise, ensuring your solar system is installed on a roof that will last. Our CertainTeed Master Credentialed status means you get a 25-year warranty covering your roof and solar system.
