SOLAR ROOFING FOR ONTARIO HOMES

Compare an integrated solar roof with conventional rack-mounted panels.

Rack-mounted panels and roof-integrated solar can both generate electricity, but they approach the roof differently. A Goulais River homeowner replacing an aging roof may value a coordinated roof-and-solar system, while another property may be better suited to a conventional rack.

QUESTIONS FROM ONTARIO HOMEOWNERS

Solar Roof vs Solar Panels | Goulais River, Ontario: FAQ

What is the main difference between a solar roof and rack-mounted solar panels?

A solar roof integrates photovoltaic components with the roofing system, while conventional panels are mounted above an already finished roof using separate racking hardware.

Can I use integrated solar on an existing metal roof?

Compatibility depends on the roofing system, slope, condition and layout. Ironwood e-Panel™ is designed to complement new or currently installed Ironwood Shake systems that meet product requirements.

Is solar roofing only for new homes?

No. It can also be considered during a roof replacement or major exterior upgrade when the home and roof are suitable.
