“I’d love to have solar panels installed on my house, but I’ve been told it’s impossible because I have a slate roof. Is that true?”
As a solar installation company in the North Shore, this is a question we encounter a lot. Why? Reason number one: there are a good amount of slate roofs locally. These durable, attractive roofs make the best use of regional building materials. Slate roofs will last hundreds of years, unchanging and untouched by events going on around them.
So why are people with slate roofs being told they can’t have solar panels installed? Well, perhaps counterintuitively, slate tiles are surprisingly fragile. If they’re not handled in the right way, these stone tiles can crack, shatter and break when the mounting holes needed to install the solar system are drilled. Doing the job the right way can take a lot of time, which means the job’s not profitable for the typical solar installation company.
