We definitely want to get a solar system set up as soon as possible, but we need to get a new roof in place first. Do I treat it as 2 separate projects? Or is there anything I can do to save money on both by bundling it together?
I read about solar shingles and they don't seem to be very good, so I don't think I will go that route. But I am curious if anyone is aware of any advantages to doing both at the same time or if there is any other options I should consider.
I was even contemplating putting solar panels in my backyard and not coupling the roof expense with adding solar, but it seems as if ground mount panels require fairly beefy support and I don't know if will be possible without making some permanent changes to the backyard.
