Bundle re-roof with solar-ready scope and protect the warranty
Solar-ready roofing scope bundled with re-roof work, protecting the roofing warranty instead of leaving it exposed to a separate solar crew's penetrations.
How solar-ready roofing scope sources
Attachment hardware that protects the warranty
Flashing and attachment components sourced here are matched to the specific roofing system being installed, which is what keeps a solar penetration from voiding the roofing manufacturer's warranty down the line.
Solar-ready prep bundled into re-roof scope
Conduit pathways, reinforced attachment points and flashing get built into a re-roof job when solar is planned for later, avoiding a second roof penetration project down the road.
Direct coordination with the solar installer's spec
Roofing scope and solar racking spec get sourced with visibility into each other, cutting the finger-pointing that happens when a roof leak surfaces after a separate solar crew's installation.
Warranty intact, solar prepped early
Keep the roofing warranty intact
Matched flashing and attachment hardware protect the manufacturer warranty instead of creating a gap in it.
Prep for solar during the re-roof, not after
Conduit and attachment points get built in now instead of a second roof penetration project later.
Your questions, answered.
Why should a roofing contractor coordinate directly with the solar installer on penetrations?
Because penetrations are where roofing warranties get voided. When the roofer and the solar installer align on penetration locations and flashing details up front, the attachments are sealed to the roofing system's standard instead of being cut in later by a separate crew. Coordinating on the spec keeps the roof watertight and the warranty defensible.
What does solar-ready roofing scope actually include?
Solar-ready scope means prepping the roof for the array during the re-roof, typically reinforced attachment points or blocking, planned penetration locations with proper flashing, and conduit pathways, all matched to the solar installer's mounting spec. Doing this prep while the roof is open avoids reopening a finished roof later. Sunhub supplies the attachment hardware and flashing to bundle into that scope.
Does bundling re-roof and solar prep protect the roofing warranty better than sequential work?
Yes. When solar prep happens during the re-roof, the same contractor controls the penetrations and flashing under one warranty, instead of a later solar crew cutting into a finished roof and creating a gray area over who is liable for a leak. Bundling keeps accountability and the flashing details with the roofing scope.
Will mounting solar void the roof warranty?
Not when the penetrations are flashed to spec. Flashing and mounts are matched to your roofing system, and on commercial membranes ballasted racking avoids penetration entirely, so the manufacturer's warranty terms hold.
How do I make money on the solar part if I do not install PV?
You refer the PV scope to a vetted installer through Sunhub and earn on the handoff, so the lead you generated at the re-roof turns into referral revenue instead of a free giveaway.
