This homeowner really wanted to make the switch to solar. But they knew they needed to upgrade their roof in order to make it happen. While NRG Clean Power can install solar panels on nearly every kind of roof, homeowners should keep in mind a few key points about their roof before making the switch to solar.

Is your roof at the end of its lifespan? 

If you have less than 5 years of life left on your roof or over 15 the decision is simple! With over 15, you needn't worry about upgrading or redoing your roof before installing solar panels. However, if your roof has less than 5 years of life left, you should seriously consider replacing your roof before installing solar panels.

The reason behind this is cost.

Although the solar will cost the same, you will have to pay additional fees when replacing your roof if the roofer has to remove and reinstall your solar panels.

What condition is your roof in?

You will want to ensure your roof is in good condition. Again, the reason for this is to mitigate future costs associated with roof repair after installing solar. Some easy things to look out for?

• Missing shingles
• Damaged shingles or tiles
• Lots of shingle granules washing away
• Damp spots in the attic roof

If your roof seems to be in good condition with another 10-15 years of life left, you shouldn't need to replace it before installing solar. If you do need a new roof, see if you can find an installer like NRG Clean Power, who can provide both solar and roofing services.

By choosing a solar installer who can bundle your roofing services, you can typically negotiate better deals.
