Roofing Solar Support
Going solar is one of the smartest investments a California homeowner can make — especially in the East Bay, where electricity rates are among the highest in the country. But solar panels are only as good as the roof they’re mounted on.
At Wonderlin Roofing Systems, we work hand in hand with our solar partner, Synergy Power, to ensure your roof and solar system are built to perform together for decades — not just today.
Why Roofing and Solar Must Work Together
As solar adoption surges across California, one thing is becoming clear: homeowners who coordinate their roofing and solar installation together get better results, better warranties, and avoid costly mistakes down the road.
Here’s why roofing and solar must be aligned
Solar Panels Last 25+ Years
Make Sure Your Roof Does Too
Panel Installation Requires Roof Penetrations
Improper Sealing Leads to Leaks
Reroofing After Solar
Means Uninstalling and Reinstalling Panels = Costly
California Incentives
SGIP Battery Rebates Are Tiered — Earlier Installs Get Higher Rebates
With Wonderlin Roofing and Synergy Power, you can be confident that both systems are installed correctly, collaboratively, and efficiently.
Seamless Partnership with Synergy Power
We’ve teamed up with Synergy Power, one of the most trusted solar providers in the Bay Area, to offer a turnkey solution that covers your entire home energy and roofing system.

Frequently Asked Questions Roofing Solar Support Services
Should I replace my roof before installing solar panels?
Yes, if your roof is over 15–20 years old or showing signs of wear. It’s more cost-effective to replace or reinforce your roof before installing solar, avoiding the need to remove and reinstall the panels later.
Are there still incentives available for going solar in California?
Yes. While the federal residential solar tax credit (the 30% ITC for homeowner-purchased systems) ended December 31, 2025, California homeowners still have meaningful incentives available:
- California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) offers rebates for homeowners who add battery storage to their solar system. Rebate amounts vary based on your utility, system size, and eligibility — and because SGIP is tiered, rebates decrease as more systems are enrolled. Acting sooner means a higher rebate.
- If you finance solar through a lease or PPA rather than purchasing outright, the third-party system owner may benefit from remaining tax incentives and pass those savings to you through lower monthly rates.
- California’s Active Solar Energy System Property Tax Exclusion keeps your solar installation from increasing your property tax assessment. This benefit expires January 1, 2027.
- Some qualifying low-income households in disadvantaged communities may be eligible for additional programs like DAC-SASH.
We always recommend consulting a licensed tax advisor to understand what you qualify for. Synergy Power can walk you through the current incentive landscape for your specific home and situation. |
How long does it take to install both the roof and solar system?
A coordinated roof and solar install can typically be completed in 2–3 weeks, including permitting. This timeline is faster and more efficient than managing both projects separately.
Do Wonderlin and Synergy offer combined warranties?
While we operate as separate businesses, we coordinate warranties. Wonderlin’s warranty covers your roofing work, and Synergy Power’s warranty covers solar installation. Together, we simplify claims and ensure seamless support.
Can you install solar on any type of roof?
Almost all residential roof types can support solar, but material and pitch matter. Our team will evaluate your roof for structural and material compatibility and offer recommendations that maximize performance and longevity.
