Technical FAQs 4

Can a tile roof handle solar panels?

If you have a tile roof and are considering solar energy, you might be wondering whether your roof can handle solar panels. Tile roofs—especially lightweight cement or clay tiles—are beautiful and durable but also delicate. Unlike asphalt shingles, they can crack easily under pressure, which makes solar installation a bit more challenging.

How do I install solar panels on a lightweight tile roof?

The best way to install solar panels on a lightweight tile roof is through a method called inset solar installation, also known as a “comp-out” installation. This technique removes the section of tile where the solar panels will be installed and replaces it with composite shingles before mounting the solar array.

Can solar panels be installed on tiles?

Installing composite shingles – Instead of mounting solar panels directly on fragile tiles, the roofing team installs composite shingles in the designated area. Composite shingles are durable, waterproof, and provide a sturdy base for the solar panels.

What is a tile roof?

Tile roofs are common in the Western and Southwestern U.S., where the climate is warm and dry. These roofs, often called Spanish tile or terra cotta tile, come in different shapes, such as “W,” “S,” or flat tile. One of the biggest challenges with tile roofs is their fragility.
