Before you install solar panels, it’s important to ensure your roof is up to the task. Here’s what to consider:
- Roof Age: Solar panels typically last 25-30 years, so your roof should have at least 10 years of life left.
- Roof Orientation: South-facing roofs are the best for solar panel installation, but east- or west-facing roofs can work too.
- Shade: Too much shade from trees or nearby buildings can reduce the effectiveness of your solar panels. Ensure your roof gets enough sunlight.
- Roof Condition: The roof should be in good condition without any leaks or major damage before installing solar panels.
