Solar is a low risk way of investing in a clean carbon future. It also diversifies your assets.

Some people are! But most Roofers aren’t Solar Installers and most Solar Installers aren’t Roofers. We believe we are at the beginning of a wave of solar roofers because this model makes so much sense. Roof+Solar is a triple win: you win because you save money by combining overhead and soft costs, we win because we get your business, and the community wins because you are now producing your own clean energy! Our larger goal is to build this model to share with others to accelerate the transition to renewable energy.

Generally, the materials are the same for the 30, 40, and 50 year roof and you are being sold a warranty which you will need to collect on when your roof fails. The money you will work to collect would be a depreciated value on the roof. A very small percentage of people (if any) actually collect on that warranty for a few reasons: 1. The home has changed ownership and either the warranty isn’t transferable or the new owners are not aware of it. Or 2. When ownership is the same, after 20 years they don’t want to go through the effort of collecting the amortized portion of the roof value. For these reasons we feel it is better to keep that money in your pocket. We can sell you the warranty if you want it, but we do not recommend it. More information on roofing warranties can be found here: consumer-advisory-bulletin-issue-1-Roof-System-Warranties.pdf.(https://nrcawebstorage.blob.core.windows.net/files/nrca_website/documents/technical/consumer-advisory-bulletin-issue-1-Roof-System-Warranties.pdf) If you want a roof that will last 40-50 years, we recommend a metal roof and will be happy to give you a quote. The Net Present Value (NPV) of a metal roof generally looks better than a shingle roof. See also "What's the deal with a Metal Roof?" in the FAQ. The metal shingle we use is StarlingRFS (roofing for solar). It is the roofing part of a solar roofing system (and can be used as a roof alone). You can find out more information about that product on the website: starlingrfs.com.(https://www.starlingrfs.com/) Note- Starling RFS won the Department of Energy's American Made Solar Prize in 2021 for the impact Solar-Roofing can make in reaching the US clean energy commitments.

Yes! If you are a non-profit, you actually get a rebate instead of a credit! Congratulations! If you are a business and you do not make enough money to pay federal taxes, you can actually sell your credits to someone else. Please ask your accountant for more details. If you do not pay enough federal taxes to use all of your tax credit this year, you can carry it forward as credit in future tax years.
