Then again, photo voltaic installations have created numerous thousands and thousands of holes in shingles by way of the photo voltaic techniques’ conventional mounting strategies,” stated Preston Nelson, director of Martin Photo voltaic. “The unhappy reality is that these conventional mounts are assured leak-free for less than about 10 years, whereas a brand new roof is often warrantied for wherever between 30 and 50 years, relying on the grade of shingle. It’s an apparent drawback, and this mismatch is the main motivation for a lot of owners to refuse residential photo voltaic.”

Not solely are another photo voltaic firms eager about what we’re doing, however it’s even acquired the eye of shingle firms.
