California Solar Mandate Energizes Metal Roofing
Written by Tim Triplett
As the first state in the nation to require all new homes to have solar power, California’s recent decision mandating solar panels in residential construction is likely to increase demand for metal roofing systems, said the Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA), a non-profit trade organization.
The initial cost of metal roofing is higher than conventional roofing materials, but it’s important to consider overall value, said MRA, including durability, performance, longevity and the streamlined installation for residential solar systems.
