Installing solar panels is an excellent step toward sustainable living—but before mounting them, it’s crucial to understand your roof’s load-bearing capacity. Every roof is designed to support a certain weight, including roofing materials, people accessing the roof, and environmental loads like rain and wind. Adding solar panels increases this weight, so structural assessment becomes essential.
At Scaffs India, roofing specialists ensure your structure can safely handle the extra load before installation. Certain roofing materials—like architectural shingles—are more solar-friendly due to their strong design and long-lasting durability:

A proper inspection includes:
✅ Evaluating rafters, trusses & framing strength
✅ Checking roof age and material deterioration
✅ Reviewing weight limits per square meter
✅ Considering climatic stress—especially in high-wind or monsoon regions
If your current structure doesn’t meet the load-bearing requirements, upgrade options like premium designer shingles in Kerala can help reinforce protection and longevity:
