The upfront cost of a solar panel system can leave even the most eco-conscious homeowner feeling a little burnt. Here at August Roofing & Solar, we understand that financial responsibility can be heavy.

Southern California homes practically beg for solar panels. The sunny weather is abundant, our energy bills are rising, and the cost of living is only going up. You know it’s time to cut the bill to Southern California Edison, but when and how?

We understand the allure of solar energy to shrink or completely stop your electric bill. And living in Southern California, you've likely considered solar panels for your home at one point in time. But the upfront cost can be a hurdle.

There comes a time when your solar panels may need to be removed and reinstalled. It may be due to roof repairs, insurance purposes, system upgrades, or even a total re-roof. This process, known as Solar R&R (Removal & Reinstallation), shouldn’t be taken lightly.

The short answer is: it shouldn’t. One common question among homeowners in Southern California considering solar panels is whether the installation process can lead to roof leaks. A well-executed solar installation should not compromise the integrity of your roof.
