Solar Roofing in Chicago, IL
If your roof has less than 10 years left, replace it once — right before your panels go up.
Solar Roofing in Chicago, Illinois
Replace an aging roof and go solar in one coordinated project — one crew, one schedule, one warranty. We serve Chicago and surrounding Cook County communities with design, permitting, utility paperwork, and installation handled by one team.
Solar panels last 25 years or more. If your shingles are near the end of their life, removing and reinstalling panels later adds cost and hassle. Bundling the roof and the solar project means one permit timeline, one crew coordinating the work, and a roof that's ready for decades of production.
How It Works
We assess the roof during your solar site survey. If replacement makes sense, you get one proposal covering both.
- Roof inspection during the solar site survey
- Combined proposal and financing options
- Roof replacement, then solar installation
- Single point of contact through final inspection

FAQ
Solar Roofing in Chicago: FAQ

How do I know if I need a new roof before solar?
As a rule of thumb, if your roof is more than 12–15 years old or shows curling, missing, or granule-worn shingles, it's worth replacing before installing panels. We'll give you an honest assessment.
Can roof and solar be financed together?
Often, yes. Ask about combined financing when we prepare your proposal.
