Solar Can Help Pay for Your Roof

You're already spending $500/month on energy. Redirect it, and it pays for a new roof, a new solar system, and locks in your rate for 20 years.

BEFORE
Monthly utility bill
$500/month
Rises ~4.5%/year based on historical utility rate increases. By year 25, this same bill grows to roughly $1,440/mo.
AFTER — SOLAR + ROOF
Fixed loan payment
$450/month
+ ~$50/mo remaining utility. Your loan rate never changes.
Same $500/month — now building equity instead of disappearing.

Your utility bill was pure expense. The new payment buys a roof, a solar system, and locked-in energy costs.

25-YEAR COST COMPARISON

Amount spent with the utility company

$267,000

Bill increases ~4.5%/yr based on historical rates. Zero equity at the end.

Amount spent on solar + new roof

$135,000

Loan ends around yr 20. System lasts 30–40 years — decades of near-free power after payoff.

Net 25-year savings

~$132,000

And that's just the first 25 years. Your system keeps producing for another 10–15+ years beyond that.

Three Reasons to Do Both at Once

Avoid doing the work twice

Putting solar on a roof that fails in five years means tearing the panels off and reinstalling them. Doing the roof first removes that risk and that future cost.

Combined financing

In most cases, the roof and the solar can be financed together. One application, one approval, one monthly payment instead of stacking projects and loans.

Step 3 – Install both, together

One in-house team handles roof, then the panels.

Super happy with my solar system. The AEC Solar team was awesome, and the whole process only took about a month and a half. Feels great knowing that money is now going toward my kids’ college education instead of rising utility bills.

Common Questions.

Solar Roofing Installation
What roofing products does AEC use?

We install Owens Corning roofing systems — premium architectural shingles backed by manufacturer warranty coverage up to 50 years. That's not just the shingles either. Underlayment, ice & water shield, and proper ventilation are all included as standard, because cutting corners on what's underneath the shingles is how roofs fail early. We build the whole system right so you're not dealing with this again in 15 years.

What if my roof doesn't actually need replacing?

Then we don't replace it. The first step is always a roof assessment. If your roof has another 15+ years of life, we install solar on it as-is. The bundled roof-and-solar offer is for homeowners whose roof is genuinely due — not a forced upsell. We'll be straight with you about what we find.

Will the new roof be free?

No — we don't make that claim. The roof has a real cost, and the project's solar savings can help offset it. In many cases, your total monthly outlay (solar payment + remaining utility bill) ends up close to what you were already paying the utility, except now you're also getting a brand-new roof out of the deal.

Is the financing one loan or two?

In most cases, a single financing instrument covers both the roof and the solar — one application, one monthly payment. No juggling two lenders or two bills. Your AEC consultant will walk through the specific options that fit your situation during the proposal stage, and you'll see everything laid out before you commit to anything.

How long does the installation take?

Most residential roof-and-solar installs are completed within a week. The roof typically takes 1–3 days depending on the size and complexity. Solar follows 3 to 4 days after. We coordinate the schedule so there's minimal disruption to your daily routine.
