We live in a house with a clay tile roof. Taking care of the environment is really important to us, and we are interested in installing solar panels for our home. Has anyone put solar panels on clay tiles before? We don't want to damage the integrity of our roof but we also want to lower our electrical costs and usage.

We put solar panels on our clay tile roof a few years ago and we haven't had any issues. I think our solar panel installer said there were one or two tiles that broke during installation, and they just fixed them for us. Working with a nice, professional solar installation company is a good call.

That's awesome that you're making a conscious effort to be more environmentally-friendly. Solar panels are a terrific place to start and the world needs more homeowners like you who are willing to make the change. You can definitely put solar panels on clay tile roofing, but you just need to be careful when removing the tiles to make way for the panels. I think that's pretty much it!

I'm pretty sure that your solar panel installer will use a process called "comp-out" because you have those clay tiles. They will take those tiles out where the solar will go in, and then lay down a composite shingle surface for the actual installation. Afterwards they can fill in the surrounding area with clay tiles to give your home a better appearance.
