Considering New Roofing & Solar?
Thinking about a complete upgrade and replacing your entire roof completely with solar panels?
That’s an idea. Is it worth it? Will I save more? Let’s find out.
There are just a couple of few things that you, as a homeowner, need to take into consideration before you go and decide to replace your roof with solar panels.
Things that you need to do include assessing the condition of your roof, looking into the different solar options, and most importantly, don’t forget to do a proper cost analysis beforehand.
This may seem like a lot, but don’t worry. This blog will help you run through the details, step by step.
First, check the condition of your roof.
Going solar doesn’t always necessarily mean having to replace your entire roof. However, it’s a good practice to check the condition of your roof first before making any decisions as it will save you a whole lot of trouble and money.
What you need to understand is that as long as there is enough sunlight and space for the panels, they can be installed on almost any roof. Just take note that your roof should be strong enough because an average solar panel’s weight is about 40 lbs.
So after assessing your roof and finding out it’s too weak or damaged, you might consider replacing it. Your roof is more than just tiles and shingles, generally, the roof is made of materials such as roof truss, insulation, decking, underlayment, ice and water barriers, tiles, and wooden frames. All of these need to be checked
How to properly check the condition of your roof
What you can do is to inspect from the inside first. Are there any leaks or stains inside the attic or ceiling walls? Here are also some common ways to check for roof damages
Water Damage
Punctures/Cracks
Structural Damage
Broken/Loose Roof Tiles
Worn out Materials
If you spot one, contact a roofing professional to make a thorough inspection. Some solar companies offer a solar and roofing upgrade. Talk to our top solar experts to know more about your options.
