Solar in the Lowcountry

  • 7solar installers
  • 5based locally

Plenty of sun and long cooling seasons make solar a fair question, but local conditions shape the answer. Roofs here take wind, salt and heavy rain, and panels add new penetrations and racking to that roof. Many neighborhoods have HOA or design review that weighs in on what goes on the roof, and in Beaufort's historic district the Review Board reviews roof changes on contributing buildings.

Ask how many years the roof under the panels has left, and who warrants the roof penetrations: the installer or the roofer. Get the HOA's approval in writing before signing anything.

Ray's Take

My first question is how much life that roof has left. Panels last a long time, and taking them off to reroof is a bill nobody mentions in the sales pitch.
