About This Project
Check out these amazing solar panels and picture framing in Milpitas, CA.
This homeowner had a lot of concerns before moving forward, with the biggest having to do with their roof type. These Spanish-style clay tiles are very common, especially throughout California. And, while our experts can install solar on almost every type of roof, these tiles present unique challenges.
Unlike traditional asphalt roofing, solar installers usually remove and replace clay tiles during a solar installation. This is for two reasons: first, clay tiles are relatively fragile and may break when installers walk on your roof. Second, in order to properly secure your solar panels, your installer needs to bolt the feet of your solar racking equipment directly to your roof. With clay tile roofs, this area can only be accessed properly by lifting tiles up.
For this home, we decided to go with the picture framing method. This allows for an quicker installer, easier maintenance and a sleeker final look. The homeowner couldn't have been happier with the results.
"Great job done by NRG Clean Power. We had solar put in and also picture framing to give our panels a more flush look and to protect our Spanish clay tiles."
