How To Paint Your Roof With Solar Panels

While you might not spend much time thinking about your roof until a problem arises, it's really one of the most significant elements of your home. Your roof protects your property from the elements, withstanding everything from sun to hail. It's not surprising that from time to time, your roof needs a little TLC - and this might involve a new lick of paint. 

If you have solar panels installed, you might find yourself wondering whether it's still possible to paint your roof. We've put together this handy guide to give you all the information you need to know.

Whether you want to repaint your roof to improve its visual appeal, or to provide better protection from the wind and the weather, it's generally best to paint the entire roof. 

There are clear benefits to organising a complete repainting of your roof. If you only paint part of your roof, the unpainted sections won't have the same level of protection as those you choose to paint. As a result, they'll be more likely to age or weaken - and will do so at a quicker rate than the areas you've had touched up. 

You might think there's no need to paint the areas covered by your solar panels, but if you choose to remove your panels in the future, you'll be left with unpainted, unsightly patches, which is a clear problem if you've decided to paint your roof a different colour.

To ensure the best paint job possible, it's often best to remove your solar panels before you start the job. 

Sometimes, removing your solar panels isn't possible, or you'd just prefer to paint or spray around them. In this case, it's important you turn off your solar system and cover your panels completely to protect them from splashes or overspray.
