Or Need a Roof and Want to Add Solar?
Why Roofing and Solar Go Hand-in-Hand
The Reality of Roof Lifespan vs. Solar Panel Lifespan
When homeowners invest in solar, they often expect 25+ years of clean energy. But many existing roofs don’t last that long. Composition shingles typically last 20 to 25 years, meaning a roof could fail before a solar system reaches its full potential. If your roof needs repairs or replacement during that time, you’ll have to remove and reinstall the solar panels—an extra cost that could have been avoided with proactive planning.
Coordinating Roof and Solar Projects Saves Time and Money
By choosing a contractor that handles both roofing and solar installations, you streamline the entire process. Instead of juggling permits, inspections, and warranties from multiple companies, you get a single point of contact. Home Pro Roofing and Solar specializes in this approach throughout Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda Counties. Our integrated service means faster completion, fewer headaches, and long-term peace of mind.
What to Do If You Already Have Solar Panels and Need a New Roof
Solar Panel Removal and Reinstallation: What’s Involved
If your roof needs to be replaced but you already have solar panels installed, don’t worry. Home Pro Roofing and Solar offers complete solar panel removal, storage, and reinstallation services. We carefully document your system, label each panel, and safely store the equipment while we install your new roof. Once completed, we clean and reinstall your solar system, ensuring optimal performance.
Choosing the Right Roofing Material for a Solar System
Some roofing materials pair better with solar than others. Cool Roof shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ-RS or CertainTeed Solaris reflect more sunlight, keeping your home cooler and improving solar efficiency. Flat roofs? We install GAF TPO reflective membranes—perfect for solar mounting and long-term durability.
Planning to Go Solar? Why You Should Address Your Roof First
Evaluating Your Roof’s Condition Before Solar Installation
Before installing solar, it’s critical to assess your roof’s age and condition. Cracks, leaks, or curling shingles are red flags. A full roof replacement before going solar might add cost upfront, but it saves thousands over time and avoids future service interruptions.
Installing a Cool Roof: Improve Solar Efficiency and Comfort
Home Pro Roofing and Solar is certified in installing Title 24-compliant cool roof systems. These products reflect heat, reduce air conditioning needs, and enhance your solar energy production. Pairing cool roofs with solar panels is a smart move in the Bay Area’s hot summers.
Why Choose One Contractor for Roofing and Solar?
Avoid the Blame Game
When two companies handle your roof and solar separately, finger-pointing can happen if issues arise. Choosing Home Pro Roofing and Solar means one contractor is responsible for both installations, giving you a seamless warranty, better project coordination, and stronger accountability.

Special Considerations for Battery Storage Systems
Roof Strength and Fire Code Requirements
