Why Solar Panels Are a Great Fit for Clay Tile Roofs

Clay tile roofs are already energy-efficient due to their natural insulation properties, keeping homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

How to Install Solar Panels on a Clay Tile Roof Without Damage

Clay tiles are brittle compared to asphalt shingles, so improper installation can lead to cracked tiles, leaks, and structural damage.

The Financial and Environmental Benefits of Going Solar on a Clay Tile Roof

Installing solar panels on a clay tile roof can significantly cut electricity bills. Since these roofs already provide natural cooling, solar panels on top of them become even more effective at generating power efficiently.
