What We Hear. What We Do.

The roof problems solar companies create — and how we avoid them.

Most solar installers aren't roofers. You can tell.

Installing racking isn't the same as proper flashing, penetration integration, or knowing how different roofing materials work. Work that passes inspection can fail later when details aren't right.

HelloSun

We have hands-on roofing experience. We understand how different roofing systems work—asphalt, metal, low-slope membranes. That knowledge goes into every system we install, whether we installed the roof or not.

Two contractors means nobody owns the problem.

When your solar company and roofer are different, nobody fully owns the connection between them. When something leaks, the solar company blames the roofer. The roofer blames the penetrations. You're stuck waiting for answers.

HelloSun

When HelloSun installs both roof and solar, we cover them together under one contract. We guarantee the combination we installed won't leak. One company. One guarantee. No gaps.

Cheap installers use deck mounts. Fast isn't right.

Direct-to-deck solar mounts get screwed straight into the deck—no flashing, no integration with the roof system. Sealant degrades and granules lift over time. Other companies use these because it speeds up the installation.

HelloSun

We only use mechanically flashed mounts. Every attachment point integrates with the roofing system—like a pipe vent or skylight—the way proper roofs have been done for decades. We won't use unproven products just to save a few man-hours. We won't make that tradeoff.

A failing roof with solar panels is expensive.

If your roof fails after solar is installed, every panel comes off first. Removing and reinstalling panels can add thousands of unnecessary costs.

HelloSun

We assess your roof before we start. If it needs work, we address it as part of the project—one team, one mobilization, no surprises later.

Solar + Roof Together

Re-roof before solar goes up.

If your roof has 5–8 years left, adding solar now means paying twice to remove and reinstall panels later. Combining them as one project saves money and protects your investment from day one.

  • Roof assessment included with every solar proposal
  • Re-roof and solar installation coordinated as a single project
  • One contract, one team, one point of contact
  • Contractual guarantee: HelloSun-installed roofs and solar systems are covered together against leaks

Why HelloSun

We treat your roof
like it's ours to own.

🏠 Roofing Industry Roots

We understand roofing systems like roofers do—not like solar installers trying to get around them.

🔧 Mechanically Flashed Mounts Only

We don't use direct-to-deck mounts. Every penetration is mechanically flashed and integrated with the roofing system — not held in place by sealant and a good attitude.

📋 Pre-Solar Roof Assessment

We evaluate your roof before design begins. Age, condition, and service life — addressed before a panel goes up.

🛡️ Combined System Guarantee

When we install roof and solar together, both are covered under one contract guarantee against leaks. No gap. No confusion about responsibility.

🤝 One Team, Full Accountability

Roof, solar, or both — one company owns the outcome. No gaps between contractors, no one to point fingers at.

✈️ Zero-Defect Standard

Aerospace discipline on every project. We do it right the first time—comebacks cost everyone.

before anything else.
