Original: In California, replacing 13-year-old solar panels means longer rails or more roof holes
Homeowners in California looking to swap out aging 13-year-old solar panels are discovering that today's larger panels no longer match the original mounting rails. The choice is between installing longer rails or drilling additional holes in the roof, raising concerns about cost, roof integrity, and the practical challenges of upgrading early-generation home solar systems.
Why now: California has a huge early wave of residential solar installations now reaching replacement age, making upgrade logistics a live concern for homeowners.
