Solar Roof Installation in San Carlos, California

The San Carlos climate is mild, and the sun still shines through the fog most of the year. The solar roof turns the sun into power. Solar roof installation in San Carlos adds the panels or the shingles to a roof built for the coastal climate.

Why Solar Roofing Suits San Carlos

• The sunshine — the Peninsula gets the strong solar resource through the year
• The energy savings — the solar roof cuts the electricity bills
• The net metering — the excess power credits against the usage
• The roof integration — the solar shingles replace the roofing and the panels mount on the roof
• The property value — the solar roof adds the resale value

Preventing Roof Problems in San Carlos

• Install the solar on a roof in good condition — the panels outlast the old shingles
• Check the flashing at the mounts — the mounts are the potential leak point
• Keep the panels clean — the fog and the pollen can cut the output
• Check the roof beneath the panels — the covered area needs the inspection

Expert tip: in San Carlos, the solar roof works best on a newer roof. The panels last 25 to 30 years, and the shingles underneath need to match. If the roof is near the end of its life, replace the roof with the solar installation.
