On most jobs, solar arrays on Noe Valley roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. We see it on Noe Valley roofs every week.
Realistically, a light-coloured covering in Noe Valley measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. As a rule, summer high temperatures is the main ageing force on a Noe Valley roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Attic temperatures in Noe Valley drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests.
