Solar Panels on Metal Roof Ontario | McKillop
Solar panels can be paired with metal roofing in several ways. A McKillop homeowner can compare conventional modules mounted above the roof with RARE Ironwood e-Panel™ technology integrated into Ironwood Shake metal roofing.
Solar technology designed into the metal roof.
Metal roofing and solar should be designed around each other.
The roof remains the weather barrier, so attachment details, drainage paths, penetrations and flashing have to be considered in the solar design.

Solar Panels on Metal Roof Ontario | McKillop: FAQ
Can solar panels be installed on a metal roof in McKillop?
Often yes, depending on the metal roofing profile, attachment method, roof condition and solar design. Roof-integrated solar is another option to compare.
Can integrated solar be considered during roof replacement?
Yes. Reroofing or new construction can be a logical time to compare roof-integrated solar because roofing and solar-active areas can be planned together.
Is RARE Ironwood e-Panel™ the same as rack-mounted solar panels?
No. Ironwood e-Panel™ is designed to integrate photovoltaic technology with the RARE Ironwood Shake roofing system rather than sit on a separate rooftop rack.
