What Are The Aspects To Consider Before Installing Solar Panels?

It has been a trend to install solar panels on the roof and the benefits are simply too many, for anyone who is eager get it installed. The presence of this panel will make sure the UV rays of the sun cannot harm your roof. At times the weather can get hot during summers and that is when you would desire to have this structure as additional protection for your roof. These panels also have insulation properties and there are many reasons for you to plan an installation.

The moment you consult us for solar panel installation we will look into it and that part should be easy. However, you must not rush into the installation and there are certain aspects to check out before. Here are the details for readers and you must look into these issues.

Does the roof need repairs

The solar panel should never be installed on damaged roofs. If you permit, we will initially climb up the roof to check out for damages. We will prepare a report on the necessary repairs and it is better that you address this part first. Once the roof is repaired and then the solar panel is installed, one need not have to look back at the structure for about two decades. We are also ready to do the necessary repairs to the roof if you permit.

The installation must not be done on older roofs

Are the roof documents indicating that the lifespan of the current roof is about to expire? If so, one must not hurry for a solar panel installation. You must wait for the expiry of the roof and install a fresh roof in its place. It is only after that, it will be appropriate to install a solar panel. Our team will also look into the new roof installation and after that install the solar panels on them.

The roof must have enough space for solar panels

This is another aspect, which we will check at the point of climbing up the structure. You would desire these panels to perform the task efficiently. If your roof does not have enough space then it will not be possible to derive the maximum results from this installation. We would also like to add that if your roof is in shade for most of the day, then you will not be able to justify the costs of the installation.

Can your roof support solar panels

The installation of solar panels will increase the weight of the structure. There is a need to gauge, whether the roof can handle the weight of the panels. The last thing you would desire is a collapse and it is a dangerous situation. It will also impact the finances if the roof collapses due to the weight of the panel. Our basic check of the structure will also address this issue and we will prepare the report accordingly.

Can your roof support solar panels

The water path

There will be days of rain and it is important to assess the water flow path. Normally, the water runs down the roof to the gutter and finally away from the home. Once the solar panels are installed homeowners generally complain that equipment such as racking, wire harnesses prevent the natural flow of water away from the roof. This is a problem, which often leads to leaks in the roof. However, we will plan accordingly and look to leave a path for the water to flow out after rains.

We will help to connect to the grid

One of the issues of solar panel installation is the need to connect to the grid. There are logistic issues to sort out and there could be a fee to pay. We are ready to look into these issues and it should be smooth for you.

Conclusion

Here are some important aspects that you need to look into before the installation of solar panels on your roof. Once these issues have been addressed, you can have the solar panels installed. It is with your permission, we will do the installation.

Queen Remodeling recently completed a small kitchen remodel at my home. We had 3 companies come out to give me estimates. Johnny from Queen Remodeling came out, he explained every aspect and understood our requirements. Throughout the estimate process and the entire project, Johnny was highly responsive to each message and question.
