Residential Solar on Metal Roof

With a good solar company you should be satisfied and pleased with the finished project on your home. It goes without saying that it should function properly,  be code compliant and pass inspection when finished. 

In addition to that, as a  homeowner making an investment as big as solar, the finished product should also compliment your home, add value to it and you as the homeowner should like the way it looks on your home.  As with most construction projects attention to detail and great craftmanship usually translate to a better functioning and longer lasting system.

Solar does not have to look good to function properly. 

In my 20+ years in the electrical trade, it has been my observation that when the company takes the time to also make sure that the job looks great, then in most cases it also tends to hold up to the elements better, perform at peak efficiency, and in a lot of cases it cost you as the homeowner less in maintenance expenses later on. 

Bad installation practices, unqualified installers, cheap equipment can also lead to a long list of problems including roof leaks and even fires. Any of these problems will cost you a lot of money.

Residential Solar on Copper Standing Seam Metal Roof


No matter the roof type you have, there is always a product solution to fit your home. Not all these methods are priced the same. For instance on a copper roof the price can really go up! You have to be sure that you have the correct attachment method that is approved to be installed on your roof type. If it not an approved method for your roof type, then it will cause all sorts of problems later and cost you lots of money to fix it.

When it comes to solar projects, there is a vast amount of companies to choose from. They all have a preferred method of installation and all have certain equipment that they like to use.  As you would expect not all companies are created equal nor is the equipment they install on your home. Do your research before you hire a solar company to install your project. Solar can be a big investment and you should get the best installation possible with good equipment. If you shop around you will find the right company for your job at a competitive price.
