Get Free QuotesDo solar panels void my roof warranty?
Solar panels do NOT void your roof warranty when installed by an MCS-certified installer. In fact: (1) Panels PROTECT the roof beneath them from rain, wind, hail, and UV — extending tile life. (2) MCS installation standards require weatherproof mounting that does not damage tiles. (3) If a leak occurs from the installation: your installer's workmanship warranty covers repairs (typically 5-10 years). (4) Your existing roof warranty continues for the uncovered areas. (5) Tile hooks lift individual tiles — they do not drill through or damage them. Key: ALWAYS use MCS-certified installers. Non-MCS installation could void your roof warranty and your home insurance cover.

Solar panels are most powerful when combined with an efficient heating system. Heat pumps use solar-generated electricity to heat your home at 300-400% efficiency — making them the ideal partner for solar.
Heat pump installation typically takes 2-3 days and is best planned alongside solar.
