The fire marshal said the blaze was caused by malfunctioning solar panels mounted on the roof of the building.
But a fire over the weekend brings potential concerns about solar panels to the forefront of many minds. There are things to consider before investing thousands of dollars to have panels installed on your roof.. "Someone has installed a solar panel system on the roof, and then they need a new roof and they can't find a roofing company that's willing to remove those solar panels, re-roof the home and then reinstall the panels.
So hire an independent, third party to inspect your roof to make sure it's a good candidate for solar panels. It needs to be to handle the load, and the panels need to be unobstructed preferably with a southern exposure. "I think also it makes sense to decide, you know, how much lifetime is left in your shingles. If you have an older roof and you think you might need a new roof installation done in the next five even 10 years, it may be worth considering putting off installing solar panels," Brasler said.
Also try to get a provision in your contract that if you need roof repair or a new one entirely, for a set fee the solar company will take the panels off and reinstall them. And remember to shop around, go with a reputable business with a good, established track record and read all of the fine print.
