So, I finally pulled the trigger and hired a local installer for my solar only to find out after roof inspection the install can't be done. They said our tile roof was installed over the old shingle and that would not pass electrical inspection (fire hazard). Underlining shingle must be removed then reinstall the tiles. That's equivalent to a new roof job which kills the whole purpose of going solar to SAVE MONEY. My roof (inherited) has no issues at all so the extra cost can't be justified. I'm in CA so I assume that's fire code here. Is this true? Anyone encounter this? Workarounds w/o redoing the roof?
This is pretty sad as I had it all planned out on going solar. I guess the option is Tesla Tiles but that's insanely expensive.
