Most roofs need to be replaced every 15-20 years or so and those that have had to do so with solar panels, will tell you that it is not worth it. Reason being is that it is absurdly expensive to take the solar panels down and re-install them after a new roof. Any money you "save" going solar over those 15 years is wiped out during that process. Unfortunately, they don't tell you that up front. I've known homeowners and businesses that have had to do this and they wound up not even bothering to re-install the panels after their new roofs for that very reason.
