It's expensive and annoying to have to replace your roof every 18-20 years, especially when your insurance company is threatening to cancel you if you don't. Metal Roofs carry a 50-year Warranty and can last up to an amazing 75 years or longer–– 3.5 longer than a traditional shingle roof! Is it any surprise that metal roofs are quickly becoming the most popular roof throughout Florida? But wait, that also means you'll never have to incur costs to remove and re-install your solar panels. More savings!

Metal roofs come with a reflective paint so they're able to remain cooler than a standard shingle or tile roof, so your interior stays cooler, which reduces the energy required to cool your home. Plus, the panels themselves shade parts of your metal roof. So you're not just boosting your energy efficiency, but also your system's ROI since there's less wasted energy

Unlike petroleum-based asphalt shingle roofs, metal roofs are made using recycled materials. Also, both metal roofs AND solar panels can be recycled–– instead of ending up in landfills like asphalt shingle and Spanish tile roofs. Recycling reduces pollution and is sustainable by reducing the need to mine for the raw materials to create new ones

We get extreme weather in Florida! Heat. Humidity. Rain. Hurricanes. Tropical Storms. No matter what may come, a metal roof outperforms any other type of roof by a mile! Plus, the most powerful and effective way to anchor a solar systems mounting brackets to a roof is using the seams–– so they can easily survive even a Category 5 storm!

A typical roof will sometimes require reinforcement to support the added weight of a solar energy system. Since metal roofs are a fraction of the weight of a typical asphalt shingle or Spanish tile roof, there's usually no need for additional structural reinforcement–– a huge savings

Solar Panels have an optimal temperature window where they're able to generate the most energy. Because alphalt shingle roofs retain so much heat that doesn't dissipate easily, the surface temperature of the roof often exceeds that optimal window, resulting in reduced production. Metal roofs on the other hand are able to reflect most of the heat and stay significantly cooler, helping to boost your panels energy production

When installing solar panels on a standard shingle roof, an installer will typically install the stanchions or mounts by drilling holes into the roof. If not done properly, this can often result in leaks and other roof issues. With a standing metal seam roof, we instead use S-5 Clamps that sits over the top of the seam and tightened with a set screw. The mounting brackets can be installed without drilling holes into the roof! Plus, the Clamps can be removed and reset for system servicing, panel upgrades, or any other reason, reducing your labor costs even further

Solar Installations come with a 30% Federal Tax Credit, in addition to a number of state and local incentives. This obviously helps out significantly, but lately, with the insane rise in Homeowner's Insurance premiums across the state of Florida, the discounts offered for installing a new Metal Roof can even surpass that! Think about it–– Metal Roofs are super durable, they're insect resistant, mold resistance, fire resistant, reduce risk of water intrusion, and are unaffected by humidity and high winds. Insurance companies love metal roofs because they know... it's likely you'll never have to file a damage claim ever again!
