Thank you for this. I'm excited to get my panels. I'm still working with the vendor on the placement.
As far as lighter color tiles: Yes!! Though I just bought/moved in and the roof is only 5 years old. Multiple people have commented that it was a good job, and I should have another 25 years of use out of it. That given, I looked into the cost of replacing the black asphalt shingles and it's prohibitive at about $20k. So, I looked into painting the tiles but, there doesn't appear to be an industry standard or accepted practice here. I could damage the tiles or create something unsightly with nowhere to turn but a $20k replacement. I wish they used a reflective, lighter color tile. I don't know what they were thinking; I'm only one in the neighborhood without a light colored roof.
