Can solar panels harm your roof?

As long as you choose a professional installer, solar panels will not damage your roof. The first thing to look at when choosing an installer is to check out reviews of the installation process - websites like Checkatrade can make this process easier.

When solar panels are fitted to your roof, they are mounted on a frame which is attached to the rafters, so the array doesn’t weigh on the roof surface. In fact, solar panels can actually act as a protective layer above the roof, sheltering it from the weather and prolonging its lifespan. 

In the unlikely event that the area of the roof under the panels needs to be repaired, panels can easily be removed for access.
