Preserving the Foundation: A Necessity Before Solar Installation
One of the standout advantages of rejuvenating your roof with Roof Rejuvenate before solar installation lies in the preservation of the shingles themselves. Traditional solar installations often involve a meticulous process that, unfortunately, can take a toll on the integrity of your asphalt shingles.
How does rejuvenating your shingles before installing solar panels provide benefits?
Extended Roof Lifespan: The rejuvenation process provides a fortified foundation, ensuring your roof stands the test of time, even under the added weight and complexity of solar installations. Each rejuvenation cycle can add an additional 5 years to your roof's lifespan.
Reduced Granule Loss: By rejuvenating your shingles before solar installation, you minimize the risk of granule loss during the installation process, preserving both the aesthetic and functional aspects of your roof.
Cost-Efficiency: The upfront investment in shingle rejuvenation proves to be a cost-effective strategy, typically around 80% less costly than full replacement. Not only does it enhance the performance of your roof, but it also minimizes potential repair or replacement costs down the line.
Let's Talk Safety!
Installing solar panels on a freshly rejuvenated shingle surface significantly enhances safety for solar installers compared to working on dried-out shingles with loose granules.
Freshly rejuvenated shingles offer a resilient and stable foundation, crucial during the installation phase, where foot traffic and equipment placement on the roof are inevitable. Aged and brittle shingles, especially those dried out and laden with loose granules, pose a substantial risk to installers.
According to industry statistics, incidents of solar installers getting injured underscore the importance of prioritizing the condition of the shingles. Opting for rejuvenation before solar installation not only addresses safety concerns but also promotes a secure working environment, reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries.
In addition to ensuring the safety of solar installers, the condition of the homeowner's roof plays a pivotal role in the approval process for solar panel installation. Rejuvenating the shingles prior to solar installation not only aligns with this prerequisite but also serves as a strategic investment, ensuring the longevity of the roof and facilitating a seamless and secure integration of solar energy systems.
Granule Loss Comparison
Comparing the potential damage solar installers could inflict on aged shingles to the remarkable performance of rejuvenated shingles:
Granule Loss in Traditional Installation: A team of solar installers can lead to significant granule loss on aged and brittle shingles, compromising both aesthetics and longevity.
Roof Rejuvenate Treated Shingles: Shingles treated with Roof Rejuvenate exhibit a lab-tested performance that is 10.8 times superior to untreated, aged shingles, reinforcing them and making them more resilient to external stressors.
The collaboration between solar companies, homeowners with solar aspirations, and local Roof Rejuvenate Authorized Dealers presents a win-win scenario, ensuring safety, longevity, and efficiency in solar installations.
