Roof Compatibility
Is your roof ready for solar?
Most roofs are — but a few need extra planning. Here's a quick guide to what works out of the box and what usually needs attention first.
Great for solar
Asphalt shingle
The most common residential roof — panels mount cleanly with flashed attachments and a 25+ year lifespan.
Standing-seam metal
Ideal for solar. Panels clamp directly to the seams with zero roof penetrations.
Concrete or clay tile
Works well with tile-specific hooks and hardware — common across the Southwest.
Flat / low-slope (TPO, EPDM)
Great for ballasted or tilt-mounted arrays on modern homes and additions.
Needs a closer look
Wood shake or shingle
Fire code and structural concerns make these a poor fit — most installers won't warranty them.
Slate
Beautiful but brittle. Panels can be installed but require specialty crews and add significant cost.
Roofs older than 15 years
If your roof is nearing end-of-life, replacing it before solar avoids paying to remove and reinstall panels later.
Visibly damaged or leaking
Any active leaks, missing shingles, or sagging should be resolved before an installer will proceed.
Timing Matters
When should you replace your roof before going solar?
Solar panels last 25–30 years. If your roof won't, you'll end up paying to remove and reinstall panels down the road — an added $2,000–$5,000. As a rule of thumb, replace first if any of these apply:
Not sure? Your Sunlink Verified Installer inspects the roof during your site survey and gives you a clear recommendation before any panels are ordered — no pressure, no upsell.
Already Have Solar? Need a Re-Roof?
We coordinate everything.
If your panels are already installed and your roof needs work — whether from age or a storm — Sunlink coordinates the temporary panel removal, the re-roof, and reinstallation with your installer and roofing contractor. Costs vary by scope, and if a storm caused the damage, homeowners insurance often covers all or part of it. We'll help you navigate the claim.
Roof health check
After you place your order, your Sunlink Verified Installer inspects your roof to confirm it's ready to support panels for the next 25+ years.
We coordinate the re-roof
If your roof needs work, we tap into our nationwide roofing contractor network and coordinate the entire project for you — one point of contact.
Bundle & save
Qualified homeowners can bundle a new roof with their solar purchase for $0 down — a full home facelift on the road to energy independence.
