Do solar panels protect your roof from hail?

• <div><p>Solar panels can protect your roof from hail, as they can withstand hail up to 1 inch in diameter that falls up to 50 mph. Your solar panels may experience damage if the hailstones are bigger and travel faster. Your <a href="http://www.angi.com/articles/what-does-hail-damage-look-like.htm">roof can still suffer hail damage</a>, and it’s essential to look for signs and repair issues right away. Roof damage can lead to leaks and water damage inside your home.</p></div>

What are some of the most common solar panel blockers?

• <div><p>Learn about common solar blockers in your area to determine how often you should wash solar panels and the best cleaning method:</p><ul><li><p><b>Soot: </b>If you have a fireplace, soot can disperse and accumulate on the solar panels.</p></li><li><p><b>Debris, dirt, and leaves: </b>These natural elements require light cleaning. Being close to trees or living in a desert area can cause more of these to accumulate.</p></li><li><p><b>Pollen:</b> Areas with a high pollen count require more frequent solar panel cleaning, and sticky plant material requires a deeper cleaning.</p></li><li><p><b>Bird droppings:</b> Bird droppings are binding and more difficult to remove. Keep this in mind if you live near a lot of surrounding trees. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can you put solar on a tar and gravel roof?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to install solar on a tar and gravel roof, but it&rsquo;s far from the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/evaluate-solar-and-metal-roofing-options.htm">best roofing material for solar</a>. Solar installations require roof penetrations, and although your solar installer will seal the holes, they still increase the risk of roof leaks. Flat roofs are already more likely to leak than sloped roofs, and adding solar will only make leaks more likely.</p></div>

Q: Do solar panels shorten roof life?

• <div><p>As long as your solar panels are properly installed without damage to your roof, they will not shorten the roof&rsquo;s life span. Solar panels can act as a cover or barrier to your roof and help block external elements, such as debris, heat, and UV rays. Reduced exposure to the weather can extend your roof&rsquo;s life.</p></div>

Q: How often should solar panels be replaced?

• <div><p>Homeowners replace their solar panels after 25 years. That said, you don&rsquo;t necessarily need to replace them at the 25-year mark. You&rsquo;ll notice a declining ability to produce electricity over time. Most homeowners spring for a replacement when they notice their energy bills creeping up to regular levels or when solar panel repairs are extensive, frequent, and no longer economical. </p></div>
