Panels and attachments are covered by warranty. If your roof needs work, installers can temporarily lift and resecure panels—no major removals or extra hassle.
They’re engineered to withstand extreme conditions (often 150–200 mph wind ratings depending on spec and racking). If a storm removes panels, odds are the roof went with them.
