Before a single panel is proposed, we evaluate your roof's structural capacity, shading patterns, orientation, pitch, and remaining life. Honest assessment — even if it means recommending a different path.
Installing solar panels on a roof that needs replacement in 3–5 years is an expensive mistake — you'd pay to remove and reinstall the panels when the roof fails. proSOLAR's pre-solar roof assessment is free, thorough, and honest. If your roof isn't ready for solar, we tell you — and can coordinate with a trusted roofing partner.
Schedule Free Assessment
We verify your roof structure can support the panel weight — typically 3–5 lbs/sq ft. Most Missouri homes have no issues; we flag the ones that do.
Satellite and on-site shading analysis identifies trees, chimneys, and neighboring structures that reduce production. We model annual shading impact.
South-facing roofs at 15–35° pitch are ideal. We model production for every orientation and help you decide if ground-mount makes more sense.
We assess shingle condition, flashing integrity, and approximate remaining roof life. Roofs with under 10 years of life should be replaced before solar.
We specify penetration locations, flashing specifications, and sealant systems for your roof type — minimizing leak risk for the system's 25-year life.
If your roof needs work first, we maintain relationships with trusted St. Louis area roofing contractors and can coordinate a combined project.
