One of the most common questions homeowners ask is whether installing solar will void their roof warranty. In some cases, that can happen if the installation is not done properly. At RevoluSun, that is not the case. As a CertainTeed Certified installer, we follow installation practices that help preserve applicable roof warranty coverage. On top of that, we also stand behind our work with a workmanship warranty for added peace of mind.
Flashing: How RevoluSun Helps Protect Your Roof
One of the biggest differences between a high-quality solar installation and a poor one often comes down to the details — and one of the most important details is flashing.
Flashing is a critical waterproofing component used at the points where solar racking attaches to your roof. When installed correctly, it helps keep your roof sealed, protected, and performing the way it should for years to come. At RevoluSun, we do not cut corners, and proper flashing is a key part of our installation process.
Why Proper Flashing Matters
Waterproofing
Flashing creates a watertight barrier around the mounting points where the solar system attaches to the roof. Without proper flashing, water can seep into those penetrations and lead to leaks or water damage inside the home.
Protecting Roof Integrity
Correctly installed flashing helps maintain the overall integrity of your roofing system by preventing moisture from entering vulnerable areas. This reduces the risk of mold, mildew, wood rot, and other moisture-related damage.
Extending Roof Life
By helping shield the roof from water intrusion and weather exposure, flashing supports the long-term durability of your roof. A properly flashed solar installation can help reduce maintenance issues and avoid premature roof deterioration.
Preventing Expensive Repairs
Water intrusion from improper installation can lead to costly problems, from roof repairs to interior damage and even electrical issues. Proper flashing helps protect against those risks from the start.
Helping Preserve Warranty Coverage
Many roofing warranties require penetrations to be handled correctly. Improper waterproofing or poor installation methods can create problems that may not be covered. That is why installation quality matters so much.
The RevoluSun Difference
A solar installation should not leave you worrying about leaks or long-term roof damage. At RevoluSun, we use proper flashing methods and follow best-practice installation standards to help keep your roof sealed and protected.
The reality is, not all solar installations are created equal. Companies that cut corners on flashing and waterproofing can leave homeowners dealing with leaks, damage, and expensive repairs later on. That is not how we do things. Our team is committed to high-quality workmanship, professional installation, and protecting both your solar investment and your home.
Many homeowners are curious whether installing solar will void their roof warranty. Though this may be the case for some, at RevoluSun we are Certainteed Certified – meaning warranties remain intact. With RevoluSun, your roof warranty will not be voided AND we offer a 10 year workmanship warranty.
