Need a new roof AND solar panels? Do both in one coordinated project. Save time, reduce costs, ensure proper integration, and maximize your investment.
If your roof is 15+ years old or showing signs of wear, it makes perfect sense to replace it before installing solar panels. Solar systems last 25-30 years—you don't want to remove and reinstall panels in 5-10 years when your roof fails. Coordinating both projects saves money on labor, reduces disruption, ensures structural integrity, and lets you install solar on a fresh, warranted roof.
Valley Solar Connect partners with solar installers who work closely with trusted roofing contractors to deliver seamless, coordinated projects that check every box—new roof, optimal solar placement, single timeline, and comprehensive warranties.
Combining projects reduces total labor costs. Roofers and solar installers coordinate schedules, eliminating duplicate mobilizations, permits, and inspections. You save thousands compared to doing projects separately.
Instead of two separate projects months (or years) apart, everything happens in one coordinated timeline—typically 2-4 weeks total. Less disruption, faster completion.
Solar installers can work with roofers to add structural reinforcements exactly where needed for panel mounting. Perfect placement, optimal load distribution, and no guesswork.
New roof with 20-30 year warranty + new solar with 25+ year warranty = complete peace of mind. No concerns about removing panels for roof repairs in 10 years.
Answer these questions to determine if a combo project makes sense:
Not Sure About Your Roof's Condition?
Our solar partners include free roof assessments as part of their consultation. They'll inspect your roof's age, condition, and structural integrity to recommend whether replacement makes sense before solar installation.
Solar and roofing professionals inspect your roof together—assessing condition, measuring for solar, identifying structural needs, and planning optimal panel placement.
Receive a comprehensive proposal covering both roof replacement and solar installation—itemized costs, timeline, equipment specs, financing options, and combined warranties.
Roof replacement happens first (3-5 days), followed immediately by solar installation (1-3 days). Both teams coordinate to minimize disruption and ensure seamless integration.
Roof Replacement: $8,000-$15,000
Solar Installation: $18,000-$28,000
Total: $26,000-$43,000
Plus: Two separate permit fees, two mobilizations, potential panel removal fees later
Combined Project: $23,000-$38,000
Typical Savings: $3,000-$5,000
30% Federal Tax Credit applies to both
One timeline, one permit process, coordinated warranties, structural optimization
If the roof replacement is done as part of a solar installation, portions may qualify for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit. The solar equipment definitely qualifies, and roof costs directly related to solar (structural reinforcements, optimal placement) may also qualify. Consult a tax professional for specifics.
From contract signing to final inspection: 6-10 weeks total (permitting, approvals, scheduling). The actual work—roof replacement + solar installation—typically takes 1-2 weeks once started. Roof goes first, then solar immediately after.
If your roof is in good condition with 15+ years of life remaining, full replacement isn't necessary. Solar can be installed directly. However, if your roof is borderline, doing both now avoids the costly hassle of removing and reinstalling panels later.
