Your solar panels seem like an added protective layer above your roofing materials. They’re low-maintenance surfaces that have great resistance against hailstorms. However, they still block your Littleton, CO roofer’s roofing material inspections.
Professional solar panel and roofing installation teams in Littleton, CO, take great care to avoid damaging your roofing materials. These are well-trained professionals that have undergone certification to install and maintain solar panels. Therefore, you can leave it in their excellent hands to manage both maintenance efforts exceptionally well.
With this in mind, we highly advise solar panel owners to avoid maintaining both materials independently. Professionals use special equipment to look through your roofing material and solar panels. Therefore, cleaning it by yourself won’t save you money in any scenario.
Here is an excellent post from The Original Roofing Company discussing the potential damages you can incur with a DIY solar panel and roof maintenance. Read more here.
Can You Damage Your Roof When Trying to Fix Your Solar Panels?
It’s very easy to damage your roof if you work without a professional solar installer to repair it, even if you think you know what you’re doing. It’s very easy to puncture the envelope of your roof, which can invite water to leak through the next time that it rains. Additionally, you might not know where each component of the solar system is and could damage part of it. There’s also a fire risk when you try to repair solar panels on your own.
Should You Work With a Professional Solar Installer to Fix Your Roof?
Working with a professional solar installer to repair your roof is critical to successfully repairing your roof without damaging your solar system or the roof itself. A professional can safely remove the solar panels from your roof (if the scale of the repair warrants it) without damaging either your roof or the solar panels.
Protect the Warranty of Your Roof and Solar Panels
If you try to conduct repairs on your solar system without a professional solar installer, you could void your roof’s warranty, exacerbate the existing problem, or cause new damage. A professional solar installer can safely repair your solar panels while protecting the warranty of your roof and solar system.
It’s Safer
A rooftop solar system can pose a hazard if you’re not careful. The live electronic components can pose a shock risk, while the height of the roof poses the risk of a fall. A professional solar installer will know how to safely operate around the array and will also have the equipment necessary to do so. (Continued)
