Photovoltaic Installations

Commercial Roofing has developed strong relationships with Hawaii’s leading renewable energy solutions provider, allowing us to offer a one-stop blanket warranty that covers both the PV array and the roofing system.  As an experienced roofing contractor we understand the importance of upholding the roofing integrity along with the installation of a renewable energy system.

With the foundation of our business solidified in roofing and waterproofing, we understand the very basics to the very complex components of a roofing system.  As the realm of renewable energy began to emerge we naturally progressed into building integrated photovoltaics — suddenly taking the roof from a liability to an income producing asset.   While the credits and incentives are generous and and accelerated depreciation make the opportunity to “go green” an attractive offer, we continue to educate our clients on both the benefits of PV as well as the drawbacks that can come with less than professional installation.   A solar array requires penetrations to the roof.  Along with any penetration comes the risk of leaks and/or potential voiding of the warranty due to incorrect installation.

The NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) published a special report on why installing rooftop photovoltaic systems by a professional roofing contractor is highly recommended.
