Solar Roof Installation in Freeport, Illinois

Solar Roof Installation in Freeport means roofing built for the Illinois climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Illinois humidity and the severe storm remnants test every roof, and the tree debris covers the surface.

Signs Your Freeport Roof Needs Solar Roof Installation

• High cooling bills in the summer - the solar roof offsets the power use
• The shingle roof is over 15 years old - the replacement is the time to add the solar
• South-facing roof slopes - the south exposure maximizes the solar gain
• You want to lower the power bills - the Illinois sun is free energy
• The roof needs a replacement - the solar shingles replace the roof in one step

Why Freeport Roofs Need Solar Roof Installation

The sunshine is the main reason. Illinois gets the reliable sun that powers the home. The solar roof captures that energy.

The roof replacement is the second reason. When the shingle roof is due for the replacement, the solar shingles replace the roof and the power system in one step.

How We Do Solar Roof Installation in Freeport

1. Inspect the roof and the structure - check the deck, the slope, and the sun exposure
2. Plan the system - the panel layout and the energy needs
3. Install the base roof - the underlayment and the new roofing material
4. Mount the solar panels - the rack system and the panels on the south slopes
5. Wire the system - the inverters and the connection to the grid

Preventing Problems in Freeport

• Check the inverter regularly - the inverter is the most common failure point
