Looking to get the most out of your solar system? Pair it with a cool roofing solution, and you’ll unlock even more savings and efficiency.
At Sky Solar Pro, we believe in smart solar design – and that means thinking beyond the panels.
What is cool roofing?
Cool roofing refers to highly reflective roofing materials that reduce heat absorption. By reflecting more sunlight and staying cooler, these materials help lower your home’s internal temperature – especially in hot climates.
Common cool roofing materials include:
- Reflective asphalt shingles
- White TPO or PVC membranes
- Metal roofing with reflective coatings
- Light-colored clay or concrete tile
How cool roofs help solar panels perform better
Here’s where things get powerful. Combining solar with cool roofing creates a synergy that boosts efficiency and comfort:
- Lower roof temperatures = better solar panel output
- Reduced HVAC demand = lower electric bills
- Longer-lasting roofing materials = less maintenance
- Enhanced home resale value = buyers love energy-efficient homes
Should I upgrade to a cool roof with my solar install?
If your roof is older or inefficient, upgrading it before installing solar can maximize ROI. We often bundle new roofing with solar installs – and offer financing options that roll both into one payment.
We recommend cool roofs especially for homes in:
- Hot, sunny regions
- Urban areas with high AC use
- Homes planning solar battery backup (to reduce load)
Key benefits of the solar + cool roof combo
- Up to 20% lower cooling costs
- Better solar performance year-round
- Qualifies for combined tax incentives
- Boosts roof lifespan and durability
