There are now several types of roofing and facade materials that have photovoltaics built right in. This means that your roof can keep the rain out when it's rainy and generate electricity when the sun shines. Consider solar electric roofing when you are planning to install a new roof or build a new house. We have developed a variety of preferred roofing techniques that are suitable for a variety of different roof materials.

Generate electricity with a solar panel roof mounted system.
You can become a solar power producer with your own Premier Power turnkey roof mounted solar system. These solar roof panel mounted systems are installed on most roof styles including metal.
Usually, the best location for solar modules is a south-facing roof, but roofs that face east or west may also be acceptable. Flat roofs also work well for solar power systems, because solar modules can be mounted flat on the roof facing straight up or fixed to on frames tilted toward the south at an optimal angle .
One of the problems with earlier generations of solar panel mounting was that there was no consideration for the expansion and contraction of the solar panels. These "big black things" stand in the heat of the sun all day then cool off every night. Consequently, the mounting would shift daily and eventually dig into the roof shingles. Ask your solar installer if he or she is aware of this problem. This is the typical mounting arrangement, and professional installers do account for it, but don't assume that all of them do.

Urban homes and businesses would use roof mounting to support the larger array of solar modules. Roof mounted systems are safe and modest when installed by professionals.
