Case Study: How One Homeowner Overcame Roofing Challenges to Go Solar with Sunny Side Solutions

A Homeowner Ready to Take Control of Their Energy Future

Our client had just made a significant investment in their home — a brand new Stone Coated Steel Shingle roof. With their eye on the future, they knew solar was the next smart move. Their goal was to generate clean energy, reduce their utility bills, and protect themselves from rising energy costs.

2. The Challenge: A New Roof No One Wanted to Work With

While excited to go solar, the homeowner ran into a major issue:

Stone Coated Steel Shingle roofing was a deal-breaker for many installers, who lacked the expertise to safely work with this material.
They faced confusion and frustration, unsure if they’d ever be able to take advantage of solar energy.
They also didn’t want anyone compromising their brand-new roof in the process.
