If you’re looking for a way to be green and save money for your home or business, Roberts -McNutt has the experience to handle all of your roofing needs. In mid 2011, we launched our new solar division. As a solar integrator, Roberts-McNutt offers photo-voltaic (PV)solar panels, thermal solar, solar design services, and turn-key installation of residential solar systems and commercial solar systems.

Solar panels are extremely important to saving you electricity, preserving your hard-earned money, and protecting the planet. Simply put, Solar Electric or Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert light into electricity. For FREE! This is accomplished by using a thin layer of semi-conducting material, enclosed in a glass or plastic casing. A PV system is a balanced mixture of three variables – current electric use, availability of space on the roof and budget.

The beauty of our solar panels is that they are simple, reliable and fully automatic. It’s so simple it mimics a high school science project. First, sunlight strikes the solar panels, stimulates electrons and creates DC electricity. An inverter is used to convert this electricity AC current which is then wired to your existing electric panel. Electricity then flows to appliances and various outlets as needed and excess electricity feeds back to the grid/utility.

Whether you’re interested in solar or any of our other roofing or waterproofing solutions, WE CAN HELP YOU! Local realtors say, anytime solar is implemented into a home or businesses roofing system, the square footage of the house or business shoots right up! Who wouldn’t want a house or a business that’s going to save them money on their heating and cooling bills? Regardless of your goals, Roberts-McNutt’s commercial solar contractors will design a system to meet your building and companies needs. It’s as simple as that!
