Roofing in Porter Ranch, CA: tile roofs ready for solar
Cali Energy repairs and replaces roofs in Porter Ranch under its C-39 roofing license. On a Porter Ranch tile roof we replaced the chimney flashing and lifted about 400 square feet of tile before any module went on, then installed the array with the same crew on the same schedule.
A tile roof that is going to carry solar should be put right before the modules go on, because afterwards the array is in the way. On our 2023 Porter Ranch project the roof repair was scoped on 13 November: the chimney flashing replaced and about 400 square feet of tile lifted. The array went on on 4 and 5 December, and LADWP set the meter on 16 December, inside three weeks of the utility work request.

The chimney came first
On our 2023 Porter Ranch project the roof repair was scoped on 13 November: the chimney flashing replaced and about 400 square feet of tile lifted, both done before any module went on the roof. The roof repair and the solar ran on one schedule with one crew. The utility work request was opened on 30 November, the array went on on 4 and 5 December, and on 16 December the meter was set and the system authorized. Roof repair
Tile under an array
A tile roof under solar is worked from above: tile lifted where the mounts go, flashed brackets fixed to the rafters, and the tile set back. Where the underlayment under the tile has failed, the tile is lifted, new underlayment and flashings laid, and the same tile reset. Tile roof repair
