When it comes to roof shingles many homeowners ask the question of whether or not is it safe to install solar panels on their home without causing roof damage. The average solar panel will remain installed for around 30 to 35 years, so making sure they are not going to cause your roof any extensive damage is very important. Most homeowners will be happy to know that roof shingles becoming damaged as a result of solar panels is an extremely rare occurrence. This is because certified installers take many precautions to avoid this exact issue.
Your Roof shingles will be fine if your panels are installed properly
Similar to any other project you may do for a home, the service provider you use plays a major role in the quality of the outcome. For most homeowners that decide to get solar panels, there will be no damage, as they have chosen a licensed, experienced, and insured installation professional. You will hear of homeowners struggling with post solar installation damage, but this is most often due to a faulty installation as a result of hiring underqualified professionals to do the installation.
The best thing to do is associate yourself with a quality professional installer you can trust. The best way to spot one is to contact a group of local installers and eliminate any of them that cannot readily show you a license, do not have many years of experience and do not have past customers that they are willing to let you hear from. Once you have narrowed down the more reputable installers, make sure to have conversations with all of them. Meet them in person and get quotes, and go over the quotes to ensure everything is outlined clearly. This will greatly improve your chances of working with a high-quality installer. Remember, cheaper is not always the better deal.
