Going Solar in June? Here’s Why You Need a Roof Inspection Now
Summer is the season for sunshine—and in Orange County, it’s also the season when many homeowners start installing solar panels.
But before your solar project kicks off, there’s one crucial step you shouldn’t skip:
A professional roof inspection.
At Fox Roofing Company, we work closely with homeowners and solar installers across Irvine, Tustin, and beyond to make sure the roof is ready—because putting panels on top of roofing problems is a mistake that could cost you big down the line.
⚠️ Why a Pre-Solar Roof Inspection Is a Must
Solar panels are an investment—and so is your roof. Before you install anything on top of it, you’ll want to make sure:
The roof is structurally sound
Your tiles or shingles are securely in place
Underlayment isn’t near the end of its lifespan
There’s no hidden damage or soft spots underfoot
Solar systems typically last 20–25 years. If your roof isn’t built to last that long too, you could be paying thousands to remove and reinstall panels later just to fix a preventable issue.
🔧 What We Check During a Solar-Ready Roof Inspection
At Fox Roofing Company, our free inspections include:
A full surface check (shingles or tile)
Attic/ceiling review for signs of water damage
Underlayment condition (especially on tile roofs)
Flashing, vents, and potential penetration points
Photos and a clear recommendation
If your roof is in great shape, we’ll give you the green light.
If it’s not, we’ll give you honest options—repair, replacement, or just touch-ups—with no pressure.
🛠️ Is a Roof Replacement Before Solar Worth It?
If your roof is nearing 20–25 years old, we often recommend replacing or relaying it before your panels go up. Why?
It avoids expensive panel removal in a few years
It ensures maximum lifespan for your solar investment
Most solar providers prefer or require roof clearance from a licensed roofing contractor before install
We coordinate with your solar company to make sure everything lines up—and your warranty is protected.
