Rest assured we will properly waterproof your home in the event that it is raining. Our GreenCal team could moonlight as meteorologists with all the weather watching we do! Rain can also create project delays.

If the roof is actively leaking, in bad shape, or 10+ years old, we highly recommend replacing the roof before installing solar. This way, the roof will not fail far before the panels do.
