Why Check Your Roof Before Installing Solar Panels?
Your Solar Panels Will Be on Your Roof for 25-30+ Years
A solar PV system is a long-term investment, so your roof must be structurally sound to support the panels. Installing solar on a weak roof could lead to expensive removals and reinstallations later.
Some Mortgage Companies Won’t Lend on Spray Foam Roofs
If your roof has spray foam insulation, you may run into financing issues. We safely remove spray foam and re-roof to restore your property’s value and structural integrity. Read More

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I know if my roof needs replacing?
Look out for missing tiles, water stains, leaks, or sagging. If your roof is 20-30+ years old, it’s worth an inspection—especially before installing solar!
2. Can you replace my roof before I get solar panels installed?
Yes! It’s wise to re-roof first, so you won’t have to remove panels later for repairs. We specialize in reroofs & solar integration.
3. Do you remove and reinstall solar panels if I’m getting a new roof from another company?
Yes! We carefully remove your existing solar array and reinstall it once your new roof is complete. Contact us for a quote.

Kenneth
We are so glad that we chose Blue Ape Renewables, it’s so refreshing to find a company that goes all the way in giving first-class service. A big thank you to Lewis who designed the solar system for our house, the fitting team of Joe and Kyle, and Emily who kept us in touch throughout. Their professionalism and dedication made the entire process a breeze. Highly recommended!
★★★★★Abraham Chavarin
Great Service! Reached out to Blue Ape for home battery only as I already have solar. Craig got back to me very quickly, answered all my questions, and drew up a report based on my current system. Very honest and didn’t try to upsell me a larger system than what I needed. Compared to other companies I contacted, Craig was willing to liaise via email and made an assessment of my situation. Highly recommended!
★★★★★Angela Rigby
I contacted Blue Ape Renewables when my inverter started showing error codes. Their technician was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through some troubleshooting steps over the phone. When that didn’t resolve the issue, they scheduled a visit promptly. The repair was done efficiently, and they even helped me set up better monitoring so I can keep an eye on my system’s performance. Excellent service from start to finish!
