Solar and Roofing, Handled as One Project
Coordinating a roofing contractor and a solar company separately costs property owners an estimated 10 to 20 percent more than bundling both under one provider — duplicated mobilizations, separate schedules, and warranty disputes nobody owns.

Why One Contractor for Solar and Roofing Works
Single accountability for every penetration. Solar mounting means holes in your roof, and proper flashing and sealing at those penetrations is what prevents leaks. When one company owns both the membrane and the mounts, there is no roofer blaming the solar installer or vice versa — the same crew that warranties the roof sets the racking.
How It Works
Step 1: Free Building Assessment
One inspection covers both scopes: roof condition and remaining life, structural capacity for the array, shading analysis, electrical infrastructure, and your actual energy usage. You get a production estimate and a roof recommendation in the same report — including the honest call when the roof has enough life left that solar-only is the right project today.
Step 2: Integrated Design, Permitting and Financing
Panel layout designed around the new roof's geometry, structural calculations, electrical specifications, and a schedule that sequences membrane and mounting correctly. Permits and interconnection filed; financing structured across the combined scope — purchase, lease, power purchase agreement, or C-PACE for commercial properties — with current federal and state incentives modeled in writing before you commit.
Step 3: One Installation
Roofing and solar crews work one plan. The roof goes on, the mounting integrates during installation rather than being retrofitted through a finished membrane, and the array follows immediately — no second mobilization, no waiting between contractors. Most combined residential projects complete their on-site work within days, with system activation following utility approval. Monitoring is live from day one.

Who This Is Built For
Commercial property owners and facilities managers, where a roof replacement is the lowest-cost moment to add commercial solar — mounting installs with the membrane, warranties run in parallel, and the building gets decades of aligned service life. Homeowners whose roof needs replacement within the next 5 to 10 years, where bundling avoids paying twice for labor; asphalt shingle and metal roofs both take solar well, and standing-seam metal accepts non-penetrating clamps. Real estate investors upgrading value, curb appeal, and operating costs in one capital project. And anyone in PA, NJ, or DE who would rather manage one contract than two.
The Money Side
Combined projects stack savings that split projects can't. The roof-plus-solar scope eliminates a full mobilization and the future cost of removing and reinstalling panels for roof work — typically hundreds of dollars per panel avoided. Commercial projects layer the federal Investment Tax Credit, MACRS accelerated depreciation, and state programs like New Jersey's SuSI SREC-II payments and Delaware's solar grants; our ROI guide and 48E depreciation explainer walk the math. Residential projects are structured through purchase, lease, or PPA — whichever captures the best available economics for your situation, modeled before you sign, with financing options across the combined scope.

Solar and Roofing FAQs
How long does a combined solar and roofing project take?
On-site work for most residential combined projects runs about a week: roof replacement first, then the array, typically 1 to 3 days of solar installation. Full contract-to-activation timelines, including permitting and utility interconnection, generally run 8 to 16 weeks. Commercial timelines scale with system size, and we publish the schedule in the proposal.
Is it cheaper to do solar and roofing together?
Almost always. Bundling saves the estimated 10 to 20 percent premium of coordinating two contractors, eliminates a second mobilization, and avoids the future removal-and-reinstall cost that hits when a roof fails under a mid-life array. It also means the roof warranty and the solar workmanship warranty come from the same company — which is worth real money the first time a question arises.
What if my roof doesn't need replacement yet?
Then we tell you that. The assessment prices both paths honestly: solar on the existing roof when it has the life to carry the array, or the combined project when it doesn't. Installing 25-year panels on a 10-year roof is the one outcome we won't sell you.
Do you handle the permits and utility paperwork?
Yes — electrical and building permits, utility interconnection with PECO, PSE&G, JCP&L, or Delmarva Power, and every inspection, for both the roof and the system, filed as one project. New Jersey's fast-track permitting for qualifying residential solar systems speeds that state's timeline further.
What roofing types work with solar?
Asphalt shingle, standing-seam metal (non-penetrating clamps), and flat membrane roofs (ballasted racking, no penetrations) all take solar well. Flat commercial roofs are particularly strong candidates — see flat roofing — and tile or specialty roofs get evaluated case by case during assessment.
Get One Assessment for Both
If your roof is aging and your electric bill is climbing, those are the same project. One free assessment covers the roof's condition, the solar potential, and the combined numbers — no obligation, no pressure, and no paying two contractors to do one job.
