What Roof Types are Compatible With Solar Panels?

If you have been considering the idea of going solar or even adding a few solar panels to your commercial building, it’s a good idea to check and see if your roof is going to be compatible for solar panels. Understanding the compatibility requirements for solar panels across the United States means working with an experienced installer for the future. We would advise you to contact our team with the details that you have on your home or business so that you can have confidence knowing that your home is ready for solar panels.

Most types of PV solar systems can be installed on any type of roof and this means that you can easily access solar panels with high-pitched roofs, A-frame roofs, low slope roofs and more. 

The only exceptions to solar panel installation comes with roots that did not have the structural integrity to support extra weight such as the weight of multiple solar panels, structures that are produced using makeshift or thatch roofing or roofs that have fallen into a state of disrepair. It’s possible you may have to redo your roof before you can get solar panels installed but as long as you’ve kept up with your maintenance and you have a fairly standard roof design, you should be a good candidate for solar panel installation. 

Solar panels can be installed with almost any type of roofing material as well. It’s fairly common to install them around asphalt shingles, clay slate or concrete tile as well as metal or industrial roofs. Although different equipment may be needed for the mounting process, it can be a simple process to install PV panels in most areas of a commercial or residential roof with standard materials.
