The document discusses the synergy between photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and metal roofing. Metal roofing provides an ideal platform for PV installation with its durability and design flexibility. Looking at the roof and solar system as a single asset can provide total cost savings over the lifetime of the installation compared to traditional roofing systems that may need replacing before PV panels. Retrofitting existing buildings with metal roofing and solar allows building owners to take advantage of energy savings and receive PV benefits.
