Is Your Roof Ready for Solar Panels? Here's What You Need to Know
Thinking about going solar? It’s a smart move! Lower energy bills, a smaller carbon footprint, and increased home value. But before the panels go up, there’s one big question that needs to be answered:
Is your roof actually ready for solar?
Why Your Roof Matters Before Going Solar
Solar panels are a long-term investment. Once they’re installed, they’re meant to stay put for 20–25 years or more. If your roof isn’t in good condition now, you could be forced to remove the panels just a few years later to repair or replace the roof underneath, and that’s not a fun or cheap process.
How to Know If You Need a Roof Replacement First
Here are some signs your roof might need work before installing solar panels:
- It’s more than 15 years old.
- You’ve had leaks, shingle damage, or visible wear.
- You’re unsure of its current condition or history.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting a professional roof inspection with us at Klaus Larsen Roofing before moving forward with solar.
