Metal roofs and solar panels make the perfect match. When it comes to ease of installation, durability, environmental benefits and cost savings, solar arrays installed on metal roofs can provide home owners excellent benefits.
Solar panels and metal roofs share one very important feature: energy savings. As energy rates continue to rise, many homeowners look for solutions to lower their electricity usage. Reflective metal roofing can save homeowners an average of 40% on their summer electricity bills by reducing attack air temperatures by as much as 12 degrees Fahrenheit. Much like solar panels, metal roofs are an environmentally friendly, maintenance-free, and cost-saving addition to any home.


It’s easy to mount solar panels on a metal roof. Usually solar installers drill holes into a typical asphalt shingle roof when they attach the mounting rails for your solar system. This can cause concern for some homeowners, as an improperly installed solar panel system can cause leaks or other roof issues. When choosing a company to install your solar panels, make sure they offer workmanship warranties and have a long track record of proven customer service. Also look for a company that employs NABCEP certified installers.
Even better, solar panels can maximize your energy savings by helping to shade the surface of your metal roof, keeping your home cooler in the spring and summer.
If you want to maximize your home’s energy savings in a truly eco-friendly way, combining solar panels with a metal roof is the best way to go. Both are recyclable at the end of their lifespan and encouraged by green building certification programs like LEED and Energy Star.

I am a new homeowner, on a tight budget, and will be looking to replace my roof/guttering (hopefully this next year) I am interested in metal roofing, rain catchment, and solar panels when this happens. Could I get a quote for solar and do you have anyone you’d recommend locally for metal roofing?
