I am all for solar, but the technology seems to still be in flux. Recently someone mentioned on this reflector that eventually you may need to re-roof as you normally would. At that time the panels and hardware will have to come off the roof and re-installed at the owners expense. The vendors never mentioned this nuance to us when we had them by. We did not purchase, but at the time it was based on other issues. If the company is around at that time, it is likely that they will try to sell you upgraded panels. And, so it goes… Does anyone know what the facts are regarding this. Mark N5PRD
