I would strongly recommend the installation of a steel roof before you install solar. The roof should last as long (fifty years) as the life of the solar system without significant repair or replacement work.
Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, my house is in a subdivision where the HOA is strict about all exterior architectural choices including roofing and siding materials, colors and even garage door styles. In fact, I may have a little bit of a battle on my hands to get the solar system approved as I'd be the first one in my 105-home community to go solar but, I'm ready to read the riot (aka Calif. Solar Rights) act to them.
