Solar Roofing FAQ
Common questions about solar panels and roofing in Charlotte
If your roof is more than 10-15 years old or showing signs of wear, we strongly recommend replacing it before solar installation. Solar panels last 25-30 years, and removing them for a roof replacement mid-way is expensive (typically $1,500-$3,000 for removal and reinstallation). A new roof before solar saves money long-term and ensures your warranty remains intact.
Standing seam metal roofing is ideal for solar because panels can be attached with clamps (no roof penetrations). Asphalt shingles work well with proper flashing around mounting points. Tile and slate require special mounting systems. We assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach for your home and solar goals.
When properly installed with correct flashing and sealants, solar panel mounts should not damage your roof or cause leaks. However, improper installation can void your roofing warranty. Best Roofing Now ensures all penetrations are properly flashed and sealed to manufacturer specifications, protecting both your roof and warranty.
Yes, we specialize in repairing leaks around solar panel mounting points. Common issues include failed sealants, improper flashing, or damage from installation. We can often repair without removing panels, but for extensive work, we coordinate with solar companies for temporary panel removal.
A solar-ready roof is designed with future solar installation in mind. This includes reinforced decking in optimal locations, proper roof orientation, pre-planned conduit pathways, and documentation for the solar installer. Going solar-ready during a roof replacement adds minimal cost but saves significantly when you're ready to add panels.
