In this picture you will clearly see why. This roof was in failure before the solar panels were ever installed. The company who installed the solar panels may not or may have known this, but why risk losing the job because of a failing roof. Had this homeowner had a $150 roof insepection done prior to the solar panel installation they could have had the roof replaced and they would\u2019nt have the problem they now have. They could have had this roof re-roofed for around $1000-$1250 depending upon the roofing system. But now they are looking at about $1700-$2200 if they can even find a roofing contractor to do it. Reason is the panels have to be removed and since roofers are not solar panel experts the risk damage to these very expensive panels. This picture is decieving believe me when I tell you you need to remove these panels before you can re-roof this.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_105\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_181\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-181\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arizonaroofer.net\/wpaz\/?attachment_id=181\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-181\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-181\" title=\"solar_panels\" src=\"https:\/\/arizonaroofer.net\/wpaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/solar_panels.jpg\" alt=\"This is a big roofing problem\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arizonaroofer.net\/wpaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/solar_panels.jpg 540w, https:\/\/arizonaroofer.net\/wpaz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/solar_panels-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is a big roofing problem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have talked about the importance of roof inspections before.
