TOPIC: I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

Solar installation

Return to I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question

Return to Forum

I have an existing metal shingle style roof. The shingles are about 2'x4' aluminum (see attached picture). I have had at least three (3) different Solar companies in the last year, tell me that they could not install on my roof because of the material set and that they could not guarantee the roof if the solar needed to be removed. Are there any solar companies or roofing companies that will install on this style of roof? Any information that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Kevin Buda

Thanks for the quick reply, but isn't 760 area code San Diego? I am in the Bay Area between Palo Alto and San Jose.

I think it is the LA area. regardless Pete is quite knowledgeable about this type of panel. He is not a contractor, but I am sure he knows someone in your area. Dick Bus
