If you’re thinking about going solar, you might be wondering:"Will installing solar panels damage my roof?"

It’s a smart question—and one we hear often. The good news? With CHNG Energy, your roof is in safe hands.

The Truth: Solar Panels Don’t Damage Roofs—When Installed Correctly

Solar panels don’t inherently damage your roof. In fact, they can help protect it by shielding the surface from weather and UV exposure.

The key is professional installation. At CHNG Energy, our licensed installers are trained to:

Use non-invasive mounting methods designed for your roof type
Seal all attachment points with weatherproof flashing to prevent leaks
Ensure your roof is structurally sound before installation

We treat your roof like it’s our own—because we know it protects everything beneath it.

Your Roof is Backed by a Warranty

Even with the best installation, we know peace of mind matters. That’s why CHNG Energy offers a comprehensive warranty that covers:

Roof damage caused by panel installation
Leaks or penetration issues related to mounting hardware
Labor and repairs required to correct any issues caused by our work

If your roof is damaged due to our installation, we fix it—no cost to you.

We Inspect Before We Install

Before we place a single panel, we do a thorough roof inspection to ensure:

Your roof is in good condition
It has enough life left to match your solar system’s performance (typically 25+ years)
It’s safe for installation

If repairs or replacement are recommended first, we’ll work with you to time solar installation accordingly—or help coordinate a trusted roofer.

Bonus: Panels Can Help Your Roof Last Longer

Yes, really.

Once installed, solar panels can:

Shield your shingles from harsh sun, snow, and hail
Reduce thermal stress that wears roofs down over time
Cut cooling costs by shading the attic space beneath

What If I Need Roof Work Later?

No problem. Panels can be temporarily removed and reinstalled if you need roof repairs down the road. We’re here to help you plan and make that process seamless.
