Is there a problem putting panels on metal roofs?
In short, no problem at all. As a matter of fact it is one of the best roofs to have with solar panels.
At Cornelius Electrical Contractors in Palm Bay, Florida, we take pride in installing solar panels on metal roofs with precision and care, drawing on our years of experience as licensed electricians. We start by visiting your home to evaluate your metal roof—whether it’s standing seam, corrugated, or flat metal. There are many approved roof styles and materials that accept solar panels, and metal roofs are among the best due to their strength and versatility. Our team checks your roof’s condition to ensure it’s in top shape, free of rust or damage, because a metal roof’s durability (lasting 40-70 years) pairs perfectly with solar panels that power your home for decades. Curious if your roof is solar-ready? Give us a call at 321-674-9667 for a free assessment today!
Once we’ve confirmed your roof is good to go, we tailor the installation to your specific metal roof type. For standing seam roofs, we use non-penetrative clamps that grip the seams securely—no drilling needed, so your roof stays watertight. On corrugated roofs, we attach brackets to the high points, fastening them into the structure with weather-sealed screws for a rock-solid hold. There are many approved roof styles and materials that accept solar panels, but metal roofs make our job easier with their adaptability and long lifespan. We then set up the racking system, mount the panels, and wire everything to an inverter, connecting it to your home’s electrical system. Safety’s our priority, so we use harnesses and non-slip gear on that slick metal surface. Ready for a smooth, professional installation? Reach out to us at 321-674-9667 to get started now!
