Roofing needs to be replaced every 20 years or so, so if you think it’s time to give yours a refresh — do that before the solar panels. Solar panels can last for around 40 years, so make sure you’re not going to be removing them to fix your roof for a while.
If you are going to replace, look to invest in a strong and durable roofing material. Some suggestions are: composite or asphalt shingle, concrete tile or standing seam metal.
If it doesn’t need to be replaced, most roofs will be strong enough to handle the weight of solar panels. However, we will carry out an assessment to make sure that your roof is suitable. The weight will be evenly distributed to ensure there is no damage to your roof.
There are a few factors that come into play here, such as what angle your roof is on, what direction it faces, and how much shading hangs over your roof (like trees).
Our team at Esena have ways to test your solar suitability before any decisions are made, so give us a call.
