Roof + Solar Bundle

Compare Roof Replacement and Solar Timing

Review roof condition, solar project costs, and potential future panel removal before deciding whether to plan both projects together.

Ask About Both Scopes

Solar Now, New Roof Later?

New roof, panels go back onConfirm warranty

Bundle both at onceCompare costs

A later roof replacement may require panel removal and reinstallation. Request itemized estimates for both paths; costs depend on the property and project.

Why Bundle Roofing and Solar?

If a roof may need replacement and you are considering solar, compare the timing, cost, and scope of doing both projects together with installing solar later.

Project Timing

Compare when roofing and solar work would happen under each option

Scope Coordination

Review how the roofing and solar scopes fit together

Future Panel Work

Consider possible removal and reinstallation if a roof is replaced later

Separate Responsibilities

Review who provides each system and which warranty applies to each part

Project Costs

Compare itemized roof and solar estimates, plus any proposed payment terms

Roof Suitability

Check roof condition and design before planning solar installation

Items to Confirm for a Combined Project

Project Review: Confirm whether roof and solar scopes can be considered together
Estimates: Review separate scopes, costs, and assumptions for each project
Permits & Planning: Confirm required approvals and the party responsible for each application
Roofing Scope: Confirm materials, installer, and any deck work
Solar Scope: Confirm equipment, installer, and utility-coordination responsibilities
Activation: Confirm who coordinates utility permission to operate
Tax Questions: Review current incentives with a qualified tax professional

Who Should Bundle?

Reasons to compare both schedules

Your roof may need replacement before you plan to install solar
You are considering solar and want to compare project timing and cost
You want to compare the potential cost and disruption of later panel removal and reinstallation
You have confirmed how roofing and solar scopes, contractors, and warranties will be coordinated

Bundle FAQ

Is there still a tax credit on the roof when I bundle?

The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for expenditures made after December 31, 2025. Idaho has a separate residential alternative-energy deduction; eligibility and amounts depend on current law and the taxpayer's circumstances. See our Solar Tax Credits page and consult a tax professional.

Why bundle if the roof credit is gone?

Equipment life and warranty terms depend on the products selected. If a roof is replaced after solar is installed, panel removal and reinstallation may be required and would have project-specific costs. Ask for separate scopes and warranty documents for the roof and solar system.

What if I just replaced my roof – should I still go solar?

Solar may be considered on an existing roof if its condition and design are suitable. Compare a roof assessment, system proposal, utility billing terms, project price, and any current incentives with a tax professional.

How long does a bundled project take?

Timing varies with project scope, weather, equipment availability, permitting, and utility review. Ask for an estimated schedule and confirm which party is responsible for each approval.

Will One Truss handle everything?

Ask which roofing, solar, permitting, and utility-coordination tasks are included in the proposed scope and who is responsible for each. Roof and solar work may involve different contractors, approvals, and warranties.
