Water doesn't wait for paperwork. If your roof is leaking around the panels, here's why — and why protecting it now matters for your home and your records.

Frequently asked questions

My solar installer is gone — who fixes a roof leak from the panels?

A licensed roofing contractor can repair it now; you don't have to wait for the original installer. Keep records, because the installer's general-liability insurance or surety bond may be responsible for the damage.

Should I fix the leak before pursuing a claim?

Yes — protecting your home comes first, and an unaddressed leak only causes more damage.A repair photographed before and after gives you dated photos.
