Roof & Solar

Roofing and Solar Installation in Lexington, KY

Power your home the smart way.

If you are considering solar but your roof is aging, it may not make sense to install panels on a roof that will need replacement in a few years.

Removing and reinstalling solar later can add unnecessary cost.

Ridge Point Solutions provides roofing and solar installation services in Lexington and Central Kentucky, allowing you to complete both projects together for a smoother, more efficient process.

Why Replace Your Roof and Install Solar at the Same Time?

If your roof is near the end of its lifespan, bundling roof replacement and solar installation can:

  • Prevent future panel removal costs
  • Ensure proper structural support
  • Protect your roofing warranty
  • Simplify scheduling
  • Reduce overall disruption

Handling both services under one contractor reduces confusion and coordination issues.

One Contractor. Clear Responsibility.

When roofing and solar are handled separately, warranty conflicts can arise.

With Ridge Point Solutions:

  • Roofing and solar are coordinated together
  • Installation details are aligned from the start
  • You avoid finger pointing between companies
  • The entire system is installed with long term performance in mind

Federal Solar Tax Credit

Homeowners may qualify for the Federal Investment Tax Credit, which allows you to deduct 30 percent of the solar installation cost from your federal income taxes.

This credit applies to equipment and labor. Eligibility and tax situations vary, so we recommend consulting your tax professional for guidance.

Net Metering in Kentucky

Depending on your utility provider, excess energy generated by your solar system may be credited back to you through net metering programs.

This allows you to offset electricity usage during times when your system produces less power.

Program details depend on your local utility provider.

How Solar Works with Different Roofing Materials

We coordinate solar installation with:

Metal Roofing

Metal roofs are highly durable and long lasting. Certain metal systems allow solar panels to be mounted with minimal roof penetration.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofs require specialized mounting systems to protect the tile and maintain proper waterproofing.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Solar panels can be installed using flashing systems designed to protect against water intrusion.

Every roof type requires proper planning to ensure structural integrity and long term watertight performance.

Energy and Financial Benefits

Solar can help:

  • Reduce monthly utility costs
  • Increase long term energy independence
  • Improve home resale appeal
  • Lower dependence on traditional power sources

Actual savings vary depending on system size, energy usage, and utility rates.

Is Your Roof Ready for Solar?

Before installing solar panels, we evaluate:

  • Roof age
  • Structural condition
  • Shingle or panel integrity
  • Flashings and penetrations
  • Remaining service life

If replacement is recommended, completing it before solar installation protects your investment.
