Can solar panels be installed on a garage roof?

Question

Is there a reason that you don't see many houses putting solar panels on a garage roof (tiled and pitched)?

We have done scaffold for solars on garages before. Maybe get in touch with a solar company and see what they say

Chris · Answer

Hi Yes, it can, as long as the roof is structurally sound and had good sun exposure.

Liam · Answer

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a garage roof as long as the structure is strong enough and the roof has a suitable orientation and pitch. They’re less common because garage roofs are often smaller, shaded, or not ideally positioned compared to the main house roof, which can reduce efficiency.
