A closer look
Solar added late can void roof warranties or require structural changes. Coordinating early keeps both systems working.
Where to start
Include solar in roof and structural reviews from the start.
An example
A GC coordinated solar mounts with the roofer. The roof warranty stayed intact.
Common mistakes
Late solar decisions, unflashed penetrations and utility delays.
What to track
Track approvals and penetrations.
Questions to ask
Is structure checked? Who flashes? When will the utility approve?
