Solar + Roofing: Why Installing Both Together Saves You Thousands

Why Installing Both Together Saves You Thousands

If you’re thinking about solar in Kansas, the smartest time to do it is when you’re replacing your roof.

Why?

Because roofing and solar are deeply connected.
They share structure, warranty, weather exposure, and long-term investment value.

Installing them together isn’t just convenient — it can save you thousands in labor, materials, and future repairs.

Here’s how.

🏠 Why You Should Install Solar When You Replace Your Roof

Every solar system is mounted directly to your roof. That means drilling, flashing, wiring, and long-term stress on the roof structure.

If your roof is already older — or will need replacement soon — adding solar now can lead to a costly mistake:

many homeowners end up removing the solar system just to replace their roof later.

That means:

  • additional labor

  • additional materials

  • additional cost

When you install solar and roofing together, everything is done once, the right way, and under one warranty.

💰 The Cost Savings Are Significant

Here’s where homeowners save money:

✔ 1. Shared Labor & Equipment

Crews, ladders, disposal, trucks — you’re paying for them once.

If the roof is replaced later, you would pay:

  • to remove solar

  • to store panels

  • to reinstall solar

That can cost $2,000–$6,000 alone.

Coordinate both now, and you avoid those charges.

✔ 2. Bundled Pricing & Materials

When roofing and solar are part of one project, materials are optimized:

  • flashing

  • underlayment

  • roof penetrations

  • structural reinforcement

  • electrical routing

Everything is designed to work together from day one.

This avoids sloppy integrations and future leaks.

✔ 3. One Warranty Instead of Two

This is where many Kansas homeowners get stuck.

If your roofing and solar are installed by different companies, and something goes wrong, each one may blame the other.

Solar installer: “That’s a roofing issue.”
Roofing company: “Nope, that’s a solar issue.”

When one company handles both, YOU are protected.

Invictus Roofing & Solar ensures:

  • Unified roof + solar warranty

  • No finger-pointing

  • One point of contact for service

Peace of mind, not paperwork.

⚡ Solar Prep: A Proper Roof Matters

Solar adds weight, wind resistance, and stress.

Your roof must be ready.

When installing both together, Invictus makes sure:

  • decking is solid

  • penetrations are flashed correctly

  • racking lines are reinforced

  • wiring is protected

  • attic ventilation is balanced

This prevents:

  • leaks

  • uplift during Kansas windstorms

  • panel shifting

  • warranty issues

A well-prepped roof gives solar a stable foundation.

🌤️ Kansas Is Perfect for Solar — If Your Roof Is Ready

Kansas has:

  • strong sun exposure

  • frequent hail

  • wide temperature swings

Solar + Roofing makes sense here because:

  • you maximize energy savings

  • you minimize storm-related risk

  • you get top value from both investments

Many homeowners combine Class 4 impact-resistant shingles with solar — cutting insurance costs while producing electricity.

🚀 The Smartest Upgrade: Impact-Resistant + Solar

This is the premium combination.

Class 4 shingles:

  • resist hail

  • increase lifespan

  • often qualify for insurance discounts

Solar generates power and reduces bills.

Put them together and you get:

  • energy savings

  • storm protection

  • lower insurance premiums

  • higher home value

This is the Kansas storm-smart solution.
