Solar energy and metal roofing help homeowners and commercial business owners save on energy costs. Unlike traditional roofing, metal roofing installation can be paired easily with solar panel construction. In fact, the steady rise in sustainable metal construction has mirrored the growing popularity of solar technology innovation. But why?
Sustainability Matters
In the 21st century the slow crawl towards green construction, sustainability, and energy efficiency has now become a speedy run. Metal roofing installation has become one of the top installation choices. Both sustainable and durable, metal construction often involves using recycled materials. Metal can itself be recycled after use. In fact, homeowners can save thousands because metal roofing can be installed over previous traditional roofing.
Long Lasting
One of the problems with traditional construction from wood and older materials is deterioration and maintenance. Wood and cheap synthetic materials will rot, break, and crumble over time. Moisture, rodents, termites, fire, and heavy winds all lead to damage. Because of this, constant maintenance and repair are necessary. In many cases, the entire unit needs to be replaced. Additionally, older construction methods cannot adapt to solar panels and other green energy options.
However, metal lasts for decades with minimal upkeep. A metal roof may last for five decades or more. Metal panels provide superior insulation and protection for decades. Save on operating costs considerably. Coordinate construction and solar panel installation for a winning combination. By installing IMPs or a metal roof with solar energy in mind, you prepare yourself for the challenges of this new millennium. Mounting solar panels on a metal roof can be relatively simple. Most solar panels will last for over 25 years.
Cool Roofing Technology
The combination of solar panels and metal roofing means that any home or building will experience excellent insulation during hotter months. The panels provide a cooling roof, as does the metal roof. This eco-friendly option leads to significant savings year round.
