3 Things You Should Know About Installing Solar on Slate Roof Tiles

September 15, 2021 by Solar Slate Solutions

If you’re in the solar installation business, and you’ve been curious about what’s involved in installing solar on slate roofs, there are three things you need to know:

Solar on Slate Installation Fact #1: Homeowners Have A Hard Time Finding Installers

Many solar installation companies say “No thank you!” to jobs that involve working on slate roofs. Why is that? Well, because slate roofing tiles are fragile and prone to being damaged when not handled correctly, the solar installation process is typically slow. And as we all know, time is money. When the profit margin’s not there, installers say no thanks. This is a frustrating situation for homeowners.

Solar on Slate Installation Fact #2: Installing Solar on Slate Doesn’t Have to Take Forever

The reason solar installations on slate roofs take so long is that unless mounting holes are drilled in precisely the right place, there’s a very real risk the roofing tiles will chip, split, or shatter. Nobody wants that, so instead you get the time-consuming method of carefully measuring for the placement of each and every mounting hole. (Or your crew guesses and hopes for the best!)

There is an alternative. The Solar Slate Plate is a new tool designed by a solar installation professional for solar installation professionals. It’s easy to use, and quickly identifies exactly where mounting holes can be safely drilled, each and every time. No measuring, no guessing – it’s simple.

Solar on Slate Installation Fact #3: If You Need a Smart Way to Grow Your Business, This is It!

Being able to say yes to the solar installation jobs other companies say no to is good business. Using the Solar Slate Plate makes these jobs profitable. Being able to install solar on slate is a smart way to stand out in your local market. Attract more business and grow your company with the Solar Slate Plate.
