Can solar panels be installed on a garage roof?
Is there a reason that you don't see many houses putting solar panels on a garage roof (tiled and pitched)?
Expert Trade Answers
"We have done scaffold for solars on garages before. Maybe get in touch with a solar company and see what they say"

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

"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."
