New Energy Star Metal Roofs Are Efficient and Durable
Metal roofing has several benefits, and it can be readily upgraded with solar panels.
Many people talk about installing solar panels on their roofs to offset their energy bills and save some money. While I agree that solar is a great idea to save money on energy costs (if you can afford it), the drawback is that the ROI (return on investment) is further down the road than most people are willing to wait. Another great option (and more affordable) is to consider changing your roof.
A roof can be the leading cause of temperature absorption in a home. There is a great company located in metro ATL [Atlanta] called Energy Roofing Systems that offers an energy efficient, Energy Star-rated metal roof that is also tax credit eligible. Their roof is designed to reduce the overall temperature of your home, thereby enabling you to use less a/c, which results in a cheaper energy bill by up to 40%.
Best of all, it is solar ready so that when the price of solar technology becomes more affordable in the future you can have some panels installed right on top of the metal, using a simple bracket system. I would tell anyone interested in solar technology who is also in the market for a new roof to hold off on getting another shingle roof before looking into some alternative options.
