Solar in Pennsylvania and Maryland
In PA and MD, the movement towards solar has increased over the past few years. Thanks to a 26% federal solar tax credit and solar renewable energy credits (SRECs), the cost of adding solar to your home has never been more affordable. Plus, investing in a solar roof will drastically cut your energy costs, saving you thousands each year for the life of your roof.
Whether you are looking to reduce your carbon footprint, eliminate energy costs, or get a solid ROI by investing in your home, now is the best time to switch to solar.
DecoTech Roof-Integrated Solar System
While most rooftop solar arrays are mounted on top of your roof, the GAF DecoTech system is integrated into your roof, creating a watertight, seamless seal. This system allows for greater protection against leaks, moisture, and animal infestation in a sleek, designer appearance that will look great on your roof.

Difference between Roof Mounted and Roof Integrated Solar Panels
Roof-mounted solar panels are a popular way to add solar to your home, but it comes with certain costs. First, the roof mounting system goes on top of your existing roof, which may void your roof’s warranty. Second, the mountings keep the panels elevated from your roof, allowing moisture, dirt, and pests to hide underneath, which can cause long-term damage to your roof. Third, traditional solar panels must be removed when you install a new roof, which can add considerable costs and delays to the project.
With DecoTech’s integrated roofing system, all these problems are solved. Your solar panels are designed to work with your new roofing system, preventing the sources of leaks and moisture damage. Both the roof and solar array are covered by GAF’s Golden Promise warranty, protecting you throughout the life of the product. And your system is installed by certified professional roofers, so you can have the peace of mind you won’t find from other installers.
What Makes an Ideal Roof for Solar?
- A roof facing the south.
- A roof mostly free of obstructions (dormers, skylights, vent pipes).
- A roof clear of trees and shadows.
Our Process for Installing a Solar Roof
1.
Preliminary Roof Inspection
A Joyland roof consultant will visit your home and physically inspect your roof. We’ll also perform an energy audit, going over your existing electric bills and energy use. Finally, we will discuss materials, colors & options, and provide you with a quote for a roof with an integrated solar array.
2.
Site Survey
Once you have reviewed and approved the quote, we will schedule a site survey to confirm all measurements, inspect your current electrical system, and verify that the roof is structurally sound and ready for solar.
We will also take care of all necessary permitting, communication with your electricity provider, and engineering approvals.
3.
Scheduling & Installation
Removing the old roof and installing your new roof and integrated solar panels can take one to several days, depending on the size of your home. Adding the solar panels only adds a few hours to the project, and not the days a traditional solar installation project takes.
4.
Warranty & Follow-up
We will file all necessary warranty paperwork for you once payment is complete. We will have real-time system monitoring capability to ensure that the system performs as expected. We will also be on-call for any questions you might have, or for any unexpected issues. If anything is unsatisfactory, we will fix it free of charge.
