Solar & Your Roof
Your roof is a key component of your solar system and we want to ensure years of seamless energy production for your home.
The Smart Way to Go Solar with Confidence
Your roof is the foundation of your solar energy system. At National Solar, we believe in providing clear, honest, and expert guidance, ensuring your home is solar-ready, whether your roof is brand-new, in excellent condition, or needs repairs.
New Roof or Great Condition?
If your roof is new or in good condition, installing solar is straightforward. Solar panels can even extend the life of your roof by shielding it from harsh UV rays and weather elements.

Why we don't combine solar and roofing in-house
While some solar companies in Oregon claim expertise in both roofing and solar installations, the truth is that roofing and solar require distinctly different skill sets. A roofer may not have solar installation expertise, and vice versa. By referring roofing projects to specialized local experts, we ensure:
- Higher quality installations and repairs and access to the highest quality solar products available on the market
- Accurate energy assessments by dedicated energy specialists.
- Long-lasting, worry-free performance for both your roof and your solar energy system.
Companies claiming dual expertise may deliver compromised quality in one or many areas, potentially leading to installation issues, warranty complications, and costly repairs down the road.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I finance my roof and solar installation together?
Yes, National Solar offers convenient financing options, allowing you to cover both roof repairs/replacements and your solar system in one manageable payment.
Will solar panels damage my roof or void my warranty?
No. Properly installed solar panels by National Solar will not damage your roof. We provide professional installations and ensure a seamless installation.
What if I’m unsure about my roof’s condition?
Schedule a free roof and solar inspection with us. We'll give you clear, unbiased guidance about whether your roof needs repairs, replacement, or is ready to go solar immediately.
How do I know if my roof can support solar panels?
Our professional inspection evaluates your roof's structural integrity, materials, and lifespan to ensure it's suitable and safe for solar installation.
What roofing materials work best with solar panels?
Solar panels can be effectively installed on most roof types including asphalt shingles, metal roofs, and tile roofs. During your inspection, we'll explain how your specific roofing material interacts with solar.
Should I replace my roof before installing solar panels?
If your roof has less than 10 years of remaining life, it's usually cost-effective to replace it before going solar. We provide transparent guidance on the best approach for your situation.
How long does the combined roofing and solar installation take?
Typically, roofing repairs or replacements take a few days, and solar installation follows shortly after, solar is typically a faster process than roofing.
