Installing solar panels on your roof is a great home improvement project that will bring you many benefits. If you feel reluctant about it because you fear that the panels may damage your roof, it is good to know that they do not damage your roof, when installed properly.
There is a small risk of things going wrong, but you take this risk with everything else and there is no way to be 100% risk-free. Solar panels are safe for your roof as long as you pick up the right service provider.
A licensed Denver roofer specialized in solar panel installation will assess the condition of your roof and then perform the installation safely. You will also get warranties, which means that the specialist will stand behind the work, if something accidentally goes wrong.
If you know some people complaining about roof damage occurring because of solar panel installation, it is likely because one of the following reasons:
- Their roof is not compatible with this type of project
There are shingles not exactly ideal for solar panels installation (clay, terracotta, slate) and they require additional consideration.
- Poor installation
Roof leaking after solar fitting is likely to be a consequence of poor installation of the panels.
- The roof is old
If your roof is too old, the installation of solar panels is not a good idea. They add stress to the already worn out roof, which can make it prone to leaks.
