Another install where the customer got in touch asking if we could replace the old slates, install new felt, battens, tiles, new gutters, soffits and fascias, and fit solar panels — so that’s exactly what we did.
A big thanks to Ox Roofing again, who took care of the re-roof and got everything ready for us to come in and install the solar panels.
If your roof is in need of a bit of TLC and you’re also considering solar, you might be surprised at how cost-effective an in-roof solar system can be.
Once you take into account the number of tiles or slates needed to cover the same square metreage as a solar panel, the overall cost can work out very similar — or sometimes even cheaper.
That’s why it always baffles me when you see new-build homes with just 1–3 solar panels. In many cases, it would literally be cheaper to install more in-roof solar panels than to tile that same area of roof.
