Hi all! Working though the many choices involved in solar installation. Super happy to be getting ready to join the Sun Power Club!
The company with the most to offer for the money has informed me that they can install the panels onto a metal standing seam roof. However, they do not use a clamping system, but rather drill holes through the roof to drop lag bolts into the rafters. This metal roof is 5 years old and should last for decades. While the panels have a long term warranty I have been told that the installation via this method comes with a 10 year leak guarantee. I am a little concerned about executing an install w/a 10 year "no-leak" policy on a roof that should last over 3 decades.
Can anyone please speak to the durability of the flashing/sealant on this method of install? Anyone with experience? Pros/Cons?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
