Roof Mount

After the initial survey during our free site evaluation, we can determine what kind of solar panels are best fit for your roof. Part of our free site evaluation (linked) is taking a closer look at how your roof is built, what its built out of, how old the shingles are and what their life expectancy is. Depending on these factors we will know if it is better to replace your roof before installing the solar panels. If your roof’s life expectancy is projected to expire within the next fifteen years or so, you are better off replacing the roof before installing the system. After the roof is replaced, the solar panels will actually protect your roof. Roof leaks are not something that you should worry about. Our solar panels have a protective glass front that can withstand hail of up to 1” traveling at 50 mph. The installation will not compromise the integrity of the roof’s membrane, as we minimize the chances of penetration and when we do we use reliable sealing methods and materials.

Field/Ground Mount

Property owners occasionally prefer to install a field mount instead of a roof mount for various reasons. In addition to aesthetic reasons, sometimes this is the best way to install a system if the roof in question is heavily shaded, not ideally oriented or is of inadequate size, shape and pitch. Eshone Electric’s Engineers work together with every customer in order to install a system that is most suitable to the structure and to the customer’s needs. Call today.
