They will also give you a 25 to 30 year parts and labor warranty, which no contractor could ever expect to honor. Also, when you sell your house, you will probably get less money for it because most people do not want to buy a house with a solar system because of potential maintenance and roof issues.

We were wondering as well what the extra cost would be to replace the roof a few years from now when ours will need replacement if we had solar panels installed. Could the panels be re-installed on the new roof?
