Common questions about solar and your roof, mounting on tile, and whether to replace the roof first in Phoenix, AZ.
If the roof has fewer than about ten years of service life left, yes. Removing and reinstalling an array to replace the roof underneath costs thousands, and it is entirely avoidable. We assess remaining roof life and tell you which order makes financial sense.
It can, if penetrations are made by someone who is not a licensed roofer or not flashed to the manufacturer’s requirements. Having the roofing contractor perform the mounting and flashing keeps the roof system and its coverage intact.
Yes. Tiles are removed at each mount point, the mount is set and flashed into the underlayment, and tile is cut and reset around it. It takes longer than shingle and it is the detail that separates a dry tile roof from a leaking one.
