I called T & D construction, the company that installed our pool and solar heating, and asked if they would reinstall the solar if I replaced our asphalt roof with metal. The answer was no. Apparently the method used to attach the solar system to an asphalt shingled roof would not work on metal and there are too few metal roofs to make it worth their effort to install solar on metal roofs and offer their standard warranty.
