Solar modules need to be treated carefully for a longer lifespan like any other device. While quality solar panels ensure smooth and unobstructed work, some customers still encounter such a problem as roof leaks after installing solar modules. Roof Leak After Solar Panel Installation in California, it is important to note that roof leak is not directly related to the solar system in most cases. The top reasons for the leak are mainly roof-based ranging from old roof condition, incompatible roof type, prior roof damage, improperly installed vents and others that have nothing to do with the solar panel itself. Imperium Energy would like to share with you some brief guidelines if you encounter roof leaks after installing Imperium's solar panels.

1. Make sure the roof has no major cracks

Solar panels are installed on the roof, so it is important that there is no damage or crack in the roof prior to installation.

Imperium Energy reminds all customers who are planning to save cost by doing their own installations that they are out of Imperium Energy's warranty coverage when they do so.

One kit weighs about 60 pounds per panel, which is equivalent to the weight of one adult hippopotamus. Imperium Energy recommends that all customers ask Imperium Energy or your Imperium Energy installer beforehand to move any items that might get in the way at your roofs.
