Do Solar Panels Damage the Roof? Truth or Myth?

  • Self-consumption

A common question for those considering photovoltaic solar is whether panels damage the roof. The answer is simple: it is a myth.

When properly designed and correctly installed, solar panels do not damage the roof. They can even protect it from direct exposure to sun, rain, hail and other weather conditions.

What must be ensured

Project sizing

It is essential to assess the roof structure and resistance, checking whether repairs or reinforcements are needed before installation.

Professional installation

Mounting must be carried out by a specialised technical team. Amateur installations can compromise the roof and system performance.

Mounting structure

The quality of the mounting structure ensures panel stability, durability and safety.
