Obviously, depending on the type of solar panel system you want installed, the size of your roof and the type of roof you have matters. In addition, having a roof that is free from all shade and obstructions is ideal (although not necessary). If you need a new roof before we install your solar system, we can help you choose a trustworthy roofing company to get the job done. After all, you will eventually need a roof change, especially if your current roof is already ten years old or more. Opting for a metal roof is an excellent idea because it can last for 40 to 50 years. A shingle roof is also a good option. This roof type only needs to be changed once or twice in the lifespan of your solar system.
