How Solar Panel Installation Works
Solar power has been a popular energy source for decades. As a renewable energy source, it allows homeowners to use sunlight to power their homes.
This cheaper and cleaner energy is a great option for residents of the Pacific Northwest. And as materials improve and the costs of installation and upkeep become more reasonable for homeowners, there may have never been a better time to tackle this project.
Why consider an interlocking aluminum roofing system with solar panels?
First of all, aluminum roofing can work wonders when it comes to energy efficiency. Because of their unique reflective coatings, panels reflect heat away from your home, keeping it cooler during the summer. That means your air conditioning system doesn’t have to work as hard.

Installing solar panels with your aluminum roof can also significantly help lower the amount of energy you use in your home in order to keep the inside at a comfortable temperature.
Secondly, solar panels can last decades — up to 30 years in many cases. Metal roofs also have a longer lifespan — sometimes up to 60 years.
In other words, if you choose a metal roof installation, you can trust that your solar panel installation will not outlive the lifespan of your amazing roof.
In fact, you are making an investment in the durability of your roof and in your home’s energy source so you can ultimately save money on your electricity bill in the long run. Of course, reducing the amount of electricity you need to power your home is inherently eco-friendly.


Solar Installation Tailored to Northwest Homes
All in all, solar panels and aluminum roofing are the perfect pair.
If you already have an aluminum roof installed and you are thinking about adding solar panels, you can be confident knowing that there won’t be a problem with the installation.
But what if you have a traditional roof right now and are considering switching to a metal roof before you advance to your solar installation project? This is a good question. And our experienced team can help find an answer that works for you, your home, and your family.
Let’s start a conversation today about the incredible variety of durable and beautiful metal roofing systems, including standing seam metal roofing and others.
