Solar Readiness
Solar-ready roofing,
future-proofed during your reroof.
Thinking about solar down the road? The smartest time to prepare for it is while your roof is already open. We build in the mounting points and penetrations so panels can drop in cleanly later, with no leaks.
The Raindeer Way
The best time to prepare for solar is during a reroof.
Adding solar to a finished roof means drilling new penetrations through good shingles, which is exactly where leaks can start if it is not done carefully. If you think solar might be in your future, the smartest move is to prepare for it while the roof is already being replaced, when the crew is up there and the details can be built in from the start.
Our solar readiness program sets the mounting points and penetrations during your roof replacement, flashed properly and positioned for a clean panel layout, so that when you are ready to add solar the installation is faster, cheaper, and leak-free. When it is time for the panels themselves, we work with a trusted solar partner so the whole thing is handled properly.

FAQ
Solar Readiness questions.
It means setting and flashing the mounting points and penetrations for a future solar array during your roof replacement, so panels can be added later without drilling into a finished roof.
Because the roof is already open and the crew is already up there. Building in the mounting points now means the eventual panel install is faster, cheaper, and far less likely to cause leaks than retrofitting them into a finished roof.
The panels themselves are handled through a trusted solar partner, Simple Solar, who we work with. We take care of the roofing side and the readiness work, then bring them in when you are ready for the array.
Not at all. Solar readiness simply keeps the option open at a modest cost while your roof is being done. You can decide on the panels whenever the time is right for you.
