When roofs are over 10-15 years old, they need to be replaced before we can install solar panels on them.
And when trees are so close to the house that they cast a shade on the roof, they must also be removed before solar panels can be installed. Fortunately, not only can Suntuity can handle these tasks with ease, but the cost incurred from completing this prework is conveniently rolled into your payment plan for the solar panels.
This often results in an INITIAL payment that is slightly HIGHER than your current monthly electric bill, but one must consider the OVERALL picture by viewing the data below.
CONCLUSION: Solar Panels still prove to be a very wise investment even when tree removal and roof replacement is required. Our high quality solar panels will generate electricity for nearly four decades. They are fully insured for 25 years. And they PAY FOR THEMELVES IN LESS THAN 3-5 YEARS, EVEN WITH THE ADDED EXPENSES, as depicted below:
