Do I need to update my roof before adding solar?
It depends on 3 different things:
- The House
- Age of your roof shingles when you install the solar system
- The person who comes out and does the inspection on your roof
Typically, because the solar panels are sitting above the roof, the roof shingles are protected. But it is all completely dependent on the age of your shingles.
There are many solar companies that can also incorporate some roof repairs, some new, roof shingles as a part of the bid. So that is going to be one that you want to speak to specifically. But you definitely DON'T want to put brand new panels on top of a very old roof that you're going to need to replace shortly.
