Technical FAQs 3

Should you add solar to your roof?

Adding solar to roofs can reduce ES and NC conflicts as few if any other services can utilise roof areas. This has the added benefit of localising energy production for either electricity or hydrogen transport, if linked to a parking structure for example, or to reduce the network reliance of the buildings.

Should you choose solar during a roof replacement?

That isn’t the only way you’ll save by choosing solar during a roof replacement. Solar panels last about 25-30 years, which is similar to the lifetime of a roof. By doing both at the same time, you avoid needing to have your solar panels re-installed after replacing your roof, which can save money in the long-run.

Can you put solar panels on a old roof?

If your roof is old, the answer is no—at least not until you replace it. Asphalt shingles that are 10 years old or more should be replaced before adding a solar array on top, says Ana Almerini, a spokesperson for SolarReviews. New solar panels are warrantied to last, on average, 25 years, while most roofs are warrantied for 30 years or less.
