How to Prepare Your Roof For Solar Panel Installation & What To Expect

Eco-conscious homeowners and those looking for more efficient home solutions are starting to purchase solar panels for their Pennsylvania homes. In State College, Boalsburg, Bellefonte, Centre Hall, Mill Hall, Spring Mills, and surrounding areas, more solar panels are emerging as a money-saving and earth-saving solution.


At Stoltzfus Bros Construction, your dedicated roofing experts serving State College, Bellefonte, and beyond, we're here to address a common query that often arises when contemplating solar energy: Are solar panels safe for my roof? 


The first thing to consider is the installation process. Some solar panels are installed by the solar companies. Other homeowners prefer to purchase their solar panels and hire a roofer to install the panels. When done by seasoned professionals like Stoltzfus Bros Construction, solar panel installations are not just safe; they're meticulously designed to ensure the longevity and structural integrity of your roof. Our expert team conducts a thorough assessment of your roof's condition, determining its load-bearing capacity and providing optimal angles for solar exposure.


Concerns often arise regarding roof penetrations during solar panel installations and how they will impact your roof warranty. Luckily, solar panels can act as a protective shield for your roof. By providing an additional layer, they shield your roof from direct exposure to rain, snow, and relentless UV rays. This can even contribute to extending the life of your roof.
