Homeowners across New Hampshire are increasingly turning to solar energy to reduce utility bills and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. But for those with beautiful slate roofs, the decision to go solar can feel more complicated. Known for their durability and classic charm, slate roofs require a specialized approach when it comes to solar installations. Fortunately, today’s technology makes it easier than ever to install solar panels without compromising your roof’s integrity.
Unique Challenges for Slate Roofs
Slate is a long-lasting material, often found on historic and high-end homes throughout New Hampshire, from Portsmouth to Concord and beyond. However, traditional solar installation methods can pose risks. Drilling into slate or removing tiles may lead to cracking, leaks, or damage that is expensive and difficult to repair.
The SlatePlate Solution
Thanks to innovations like the SlatePlate mounting system, New Hampshire homeowners with slate roofs can now enjoy the benefits of solar energy safely. The SlatePlate system allows installers to mount solar panels without drilling or removing tiles. Instead, the weight is transferred directly to the roof’s structural elements, protecting the delicate slate while ensuring a secure installation.
