Ozark Mountain Roofing — trusted Arkansas roofers for asphalt, metal, and solar-integrated roofing.
Homeowners are hearing a lot about “solar roofing,” but not all roofers are qualified to design and install it correctly. Ozark Mountain Roofing is Arkansas’s only Solar-Certified roofing contractor — a credential that signals proven training, audited quality, and manufacturer-backed warranties on solar-integrated roofs.
f you’re comparing roofers for a new roof or a solar-ready replacement, hiring a Solar-Certified contractor helps you avoid warranty voids, under-performing systems, and costly rework. Continue reading to learn about the credential’s coverage, its protection of your investment, and what to expect from our process.
What “Solar-Certified” Actually Means (and Why Most Roofers Aren’t)
“Solar-Certified” isn’t just a marketing badge. It’s a third-party/manufacturer recognition that a contractor has:
- Completed advanced coursework in roof-integrated solar (not just rack-mounted panels).
- Demonstrated code-compliant electrical and roofing practices for weatherproof, load-rated installs.
- Met installation volume and quality audits to keep the credential active.
- Qualified for enhanced manufacturer warranties on both the roof system and the solar components.
Most roofing companies stop at shingles. Most solar outfits stop at panels. A Solar-Certified contractor lives at the intersection — designing one system where the roof is the power plant, not an afterthought.
The Benefits for Arkansas Homeowners
1) One Crew, One Warranty, Zero Finger-Pointing
Traditional panel installers often penetrate the roof after the roofer leaves. If a leak shows up, the blame game begins. With a Solar-Certified roofer, we design the roof and solar system as a single assembly and back it with single-source warranty coverage.
2) Better Curb Appeal and Wind/Rain Defense
Roof-integrated solar sits flush with your roofing system, minimizing exposed rails and penetrations. That means cleaner lines, fewer places for water to intrude, and tested wind uplift ratings appropriate for Arkansas storm seasons.
3) Real Energy Production, Not Just a Pretty Roof
We model your home’s shading, roof pitch, and orientation to right-size the array. You get predictable kilowatt-hour output and a roof that’s built to support it for decades.
4) Financial Upside
- Pair a roof replacement with solar to leverage available incentives and potentially offset a portion of the roofing cost with energy savings.
- Our Solar-Certified status unlocks manufacturer financing options designed specifically for solar roofing bundles.
When a Solar-Certified Roofer Is Essential
- Hail or wind damage, and you’re replacing the whole roof — perfect time to go solar-ready or solar-integrated.
- Aging shingles (15–20+ years) — avoid paying twice by installing a new, solar-ready roof now.
- New builds or additions — design the roof structure and electrical stub-outs correctly from day one.
If you plan to add panels later, we can install a solar-ready roof with pre-flashed pathways and attachment points so future installers don’t compromise waterproofing.
