Roof Repair & Replacement Prior to Solar InstallationServing Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas / Fort Worth TX

During your site assessment, our experts check the condition and quality of your roof. Your roof will need to hold the weight of the solar panels at 3-5lbs per square foot. If we recommend any adjustments or replacements to your roof prior to installing your system, we’ll create a custom proposal for you.

Solar panels can help protect your roof from damaging exposure and extend your roof’s life after installation. What’s more, in the peak energy-producing months of the spring and summer, the panels reduce the amount of sunshine bearing down on your home’s roof. This will help keep your home cooler in the summer because, instead of the home absorbing the heat, the panels turn the sun’s radiation into useable energy. 

Solar panels can last for up to 25 years, so you will want to ensure your roof is ready to last just as long as your new solar system. If you do require roof repairs or roof replacement prior to solar installation, here’s how it works.

If your roof has some age on it, it can be a great idea to replace the roof prior to solar panel installation. Having a new roof at the time of install guarantees a strong roof that can last as long as your system.

Longhorn Solar can even work directly with your insurance company to handle your claims for any roofing services needed prior to solar installation.

Longhorn Solar can handle your roofing needs from start to finish, typically complete within around 3 days as opposed to 2 weeks when using an outside contractor. We look forward to assessing your needs and discussing solutions further with you.
