Should You Replace Your Roof Before Getting Solar?

Solar panels last around 25 to 30 years when installed professionally. This is consistent with the best roofing materials. So, if your roof is approaching its age of replacement, it’s best to have the roof replaced before the solar panels go up. This will help to keep costs down and prevent extensive work to remove solar panels when replacing your roofing in a couple of years.

Because New York Power Solutions is a fully integrated solar roofing company, we can take care of the roof replacement in-house. If you think your roof might need to be replaced before getting panels, you can talk to us for a detailed on-site evaluation and estimate.

Do Critters Interfere with Solar Panels?

Solar panels are mounted low to the roof, but there is still some risk of critters getting underneath them. Our team can install critter guards to prevent critters and birds from getting under your panels and nesting there. This will prevent your roof from damage while also protecting your solar panels and protecting critters from potential injury.

Keep critters away from your panels and off your roof with our attention-detailed solar installation service.
