One of the most common questions prior to installation is, “Will the system damage my roof?” We completely understand the concern here, as you are adding weight, and also altering the foundation of your roof. The answer is No – the system will not damage your roof if and when it is installed properly. Selecting a licensed and reputable installation company, with proven quality and integrity displayed in their work, is essential. Fortunately, Endries Solar & Electric takes great care in preparing and executing the most beneficial system, not only for solar production, but also to protect and ultimately add value to your roof and home.
Endries Solar & Electric’s experts will make sure that your roof is capable of hosting a solar install during a pre-installation site visit. Sometimes, your municipality will require a structural analysis as well- during which a certified engineer will assess your home’s structure and guarantee that your roof can safely support the system.
We will also use quality materials such as racking, splices, clamps, lag bolts and flash feet provided by reputable companies such as Ironridge. These companies test and certify every component using state-of-the-art technology to make the installs strong, reliable and waterproof. The thick hardware is designed to withstand the test of heavy weather conditions such as high winds, storms, rain/hail and any other type of heavy impacts.
Endries Solar & Electric takes their time to analyze all the components of your system prior to installation, regardless of its size, and we are happy to answer any of your questions or concerns along the way. Russel Endries designs the most beneficial system for your building and its unique roof and structure, including precautionary measures to guarantee a successful installation.
We look forward to walking you through this process and providing you with a solar system that will benefit you and your family for years to come, all while adding value to your home!
