Roof

Should you replace your roof before solar?

Updated · By Jeremy Williams

Only if it’s near the end of its life. If your roof will likely need replacing within the next several years, re-roof first — removing and reinstalling panels later costs extra. A sound roof with years left is ready for solar now.

Check these first

  • Roof age and remaining life.
  • Hail history and open insurance claims.
  • Soft spots, leaks or missing shingles.

We look at your roof during your free in-home review and tell you straight.

Do I need a new roof before solar?

Not unless it’s near the end of its life — then re-roofing first avoids paying to remove and reinstall panels later.
