By Introduction
Not all roofs are created equal. The material and structure of your roof significantly influence the complexity and cost of removing and reinstalling your solar panels.
Roof Types and Their Challenges:
Asphalt Shingle Roofs:
Most common and affordable.
Easy to work on and reinstall.
Tile Roofs:
Labor-intensive. Tiles can crack easily and often require replacement.
Special equipment and slower process.
Metal Roofs:
Can be quick or complex depending on seam type.
May require specialized mounting gear.
Flat Roofs:
Often require tilted racking systems for optimal sunlight.
More engineering required.
Other Cost Influencers:
Age of roof
System size (more panels = more labor)
Accessibility (steep slope, multiple stories)
Case Study Example:
A homeowner in Orlando with a 10-year-old tile roof saw a 40% increase in labor costs compared to a similar project on a shingle roof.
