Integrating solar power into our homes is essential in the movement toward clean, renewable energy usage. Energy cost savings is the top perceived benefit according to consumers in our survey, however, the top barriers to solar roofing include concerns of system durability in extreme weather, up-front costs and maintenance/cleaning requirements.
