Great information. When putting panels on your roof does anything special need to be done structurally to carry the weight of the new panels.

[@Theconsciousbuilder]

Most roofs are able to support solar panels without reinforcement as the panels are lighter and the weight is distributed, but it does depend on the age and condition of your roof. If there are any issues, best to fix those before installing panels. A local expert should be able to tell you if you have anything to worry about. Thanks for watching, so glad it was helpful!

Unfortunately I don't know enough to comment on this. I'd speak to a local Solar installer in your area.
