THE POWER YOU WANT

THE PROTECTION YOU NEED

Adding solar panels to your roof can lower energy bills. Solar power has its benefits. But you should be aware of a real concern. Installing solar panels can compromise the roofing system underneath them if not done properly.

That’s why the Solar PROtect™ Program from Owens Corning offers you one-of-a-kind peace of mind.
