Conduct Roof Repairs Prior to Your Solar Installation

When working with a roofing company you’ll have access to appropriate roof repairs prior to your solar panel installation. This not only ensures that your solar panels will be secure but also protects your property against potential damages from a bad solar installation. In the case that structural reinforcements or repairs are required prior to the solar installation process we will recommend the most cost effective solutions in line with your budget. Our in-depth process certifies that any repairs or modifications are addressed in a timely and complete manner. We comply with all local and state building codes to verify that all roofing work aligns with regional regulations.

 

Find the Most Effective Roof Placement for Your Solar Installation

Solar installation designs may vary depending on your property style and aesthetic needs. Our installation process starts with an analysis of the total sun exposure on your property. We’ll review potential shade sources nearby as well as seasonal weather patterns in your area. Our team will assess your property’s use of major appliances like air conditioners, generators and refrigerating systems before confirming the total energy required by the solar system. After collecting all of these details our roof and solar contractors will draft an installation blueprint for your custom installation. Our solar roof installations are designed to: 

• Facilitate optimal solar energy property for your needs and region
• Work around sources of shade or hindrances to sun exposure
• Identify all solar installation options, including roof-mounted other solutions
• Assess roofing modifications required prior to installation, including the repositioning of skylights, chimneys, and gutters 
• Design large-scale solar energy solutions for commercial buildings, parking lots, and other unique properties 

There’s no one-size-fits all solution when it comes to installing the best solar energy solution for your property. The size of your structure, your energy generation needs, the angle of your roof, and your investment budget all impact the final design. By choosing an experienced roofing company to design and install your solar energy system you’ll get the most effective solution for your needs.

Ensure Your Roof is Safe and Stable for Years to Come

One of the most important components of a roof-mounted solar energy system is structural stability. As a fully-licensed roofing contractor (CSLB Lic.# 1002598) we can accurately determine the strength of your roof before and after installing solar. During a detailed roof inspection we will document the condition of your roofing, identify leaks, structural issues, and confirm required roofing repairs. In addition we will check for signs of rodent damage, insects, mold, or infestations. Our regular roof inspections include a check on the sealing, fastenings, and security of other roof components like seams, gutters, and chimneys. You’ll receive a detailed overview of any required or optional repairs, along with an understanding of how this will impact your timeline and budget.

Get Access to the Best Solar Energy Technology

As a major solar contractor, an experienced roofing company maintains partnerships with some of the best solar energy manufacturers in the business. At Christian Roofing we offer advanced solar energy options, including the latest generation of high-efficiency photovoltaic panels. Enjoy access to long-life solar panels (up to 30-year warranties) and deep cycle batteries. Since we work with both large and small scale properties our experienced team also provides new inverter technology and wiring solutions. By choosing a vetted solar roofing company you’ll benefit from aesthetically-pleasing, streamlined roof-mounting techniques.

Understand the Costs of the Solar Installation Process

Our in-house team of coordinators and project managers make it easy to forecast, plan, and document the costs of your roof-mounted solar energy system. In addition, a roofing company can provide estimates around cost savings and return on investment once your solar energy system is up-and-running. After your free estimate our team will evaluate the price per kilowatt required for your current energy needs. Then we’ll explore how much energy your solar panel system will provide in the summer, fall, winter and spring season. We’ll compare this against the full cost to install as well as the energy cost savings over time. We can also suggest tax credits, state solar incentives, and local rebate programs that can reduce the cost of your solar installation.
