Technical FAQs 4

Can solar panels damage a roof?

Fortunately, roof damage from a solar panel installation is extremely rare because installers take precautionary steps while installing panels to prevent leaks and other damage. Like any home improvement project, using the right service provider is essential to a rooftop solar job.

How do I avoid solar on my roof?

Another option to avoid solar on your roof entirely is to install a ground mount or join a community solar plan and receive solar energy from an offsite location. A rooftop solar panel installation is a great investment that won't lead to roof damage when you work with a professional, experienced installer.

Should solar panels be on the roof?

Solar panels on the roof are ideal because they will be in direct sunlight for most of the day, allowing them to function at a higher efficiency. This is the reason why most people recommend installing solar panels on the roof.

How long do solar panels last on a roof?

The lifespan of the shingles on the roof is generally speaking at least 20-30 years, although this may not always be the case. If you have an older roof, setting up solar panels on top of it can be extremely risky. This could potentially damage both the roof and the solar system.
