To make solar worthwhile we did an energy audit so we also replaced windows, got new siding and installed new doors. Energy efficiency doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. I got a bigger rebate from the city with proof of energy audit.
as far as roof repairs… why would solar matter and why so many roof repairs? I’ve been through tropical storms, down pours and many a hail storm and not a single problem and my roof is 23 years old..
I could never go back. I charge my Tesla at home and my electric bill averages about 70 a month over a year after solar. That’s less than a weeks worth of gas for my Jeep.
year 6 on panels and 0 maintenance with a 20 year guarantee on efficiency and install warranty if i had problems i’d call my installer for service.
