When it comes to installing solar panels on flat commercial roofs, one key step is often overlooked: preparing the roof itself. At solar ready roofing, we specialize in cool roof systems and high-performance roof coatings that not only protect your building, but also dramatically improve the efficiency and lifespan of your solar installation.
What Is a Cool Roof?
A cool roof is designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than a standard roof. This is especially important in commercial settings where large, flat roofs can soak up an enormous amount of heat throughout the day. By applying reflective roof coatings, we significantly lower rooftop temperatures, which helps reduce cooling costs and makes your building more energy efficient overall.
Why It Matters for Solar
Solar panels perform best when they’re not exposed to extreme heat from below. Installing them on a roof that’s already working to reduce heat buildup helps protect your investment and improve long-term performance. In fact, cool roofs are such a good match for solar that we believe they should be a standard part of any flat-roof solar installation.
Proven Results
We’ve applied these systems across a wide range of industrial projects, including multiple installations within the Hot Pocket Industrial Association, and the results speak for themselves. Our coatings provide long-lasting protection and energy savings that support your solar system’s success from day one.
