Aspen Roofing comes out and gives you an energy assessment that will provide a starting point toward "sizing" a PV system that makes sense for you and your business. Your expectation for load (energy use) helps us to size a system to suit your needs. Regardless if you’re looking for an Off-Grid system, Grid-tie system, or a Grid-tie with battery back-up we can design a system for you.

Shingles that have an energy-star rating are referred to as cool shingles. They come in various colors and reflective qualities that help to lower your utility costs in the summer by reducing the heat absorbed through the roof. These shingles have a special granular coating that goes through an addition manufacturing process to coat the granules with an acrylic coating. This coating gives the shingle the reflective quality. The emissivity of this special process also allows the shingles to cool off faster when the sun goes down, or behind clouds etc. These shingles attract less heat and do not hold the heat as long as conventional shingles.

CertainTeed makes a solar shingle that can be installed on the roof deck integrated into asphalt shingles. These solar moduals can be installed with a new installation or over an existing roof system. The Apollo II series has a power rating of 54 watts per modual. These moduals have a low profile and are black monocrystaline silicone solar cells on a black frame to help blend into your roof. If you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint or just reduce your utility bill these are a great option.

Green roofs can mean many things depending on who you are talking to. It could mean that you are using a recyclable product such as metal for your roof or it could be a flat roof membrane with a roof garden. Most green roof systems help to protect the building from sun by reflecting or absorbing the solar energy. The largest surface in direct sunlight on a home in most cases is your roof. This makes your roof a prime candidate for a solar system which also can be considered a “green roof.” All of these systems have an environmental friendly component that helps make your business location energy efficient and more self sufficient too.
