NRG Clean Power Roofing Reviews

NRG Clean Power is primarily a solar panel company, not a roofing company. Working with this company is best for homeowners with older roofs looking to update them while also installing solar panels. Getting both projects done together — by the same company — can often make more financial sense. Anyone looking for repairs or just roofing services should look elsewhere.

NRG Clean Power operates in California and Texas. The company’s main focus is providing homeowners with clean energy solutions in the form of solar panel installation, solar energy storage and electric vehicle charging. Its roofing services are secondary, meaning the company is focused on reroofing in order to make solar panel installation easier. 

The company recommends asphalt shingles, as they’re the easiest to install solar panels on. However, the company can try to work with a variety of materials except wood shake, which poses a fire hazard with solar.

NRG Clean Power only offers partial or full roof replacement, which can be bundled with solar panel installation. The company recommends that your roof has at least 10 to 15 years of usage left in order to install solar panels. If not, it can replace your entire roof first.

The company can work with several roofing materials, but it recommends installing asphalt shingles since they’re the easiest for solar panels to work with — the company uses Owens Corning Duration shingles. However, the company can still work with concrete or clay tiles. Since these materials are more brittle, the contractors recommend picture framing, which means removing one section of the tiles and installing shingles to support the solar panels.

Wood shake shingles are not recommended since they pose a fire hazard. The company also does not provide roof repairs.

NRG Clean Power is mainly a solar panel installation company. In addition to installing the panels, the company can install a solar battery (LG, Tesla or Enphase) and EV chargers (ChargePoint, Enel X or SolarEdge). To help maintain your investment, NRG Clean Power provides solar panel cleaning, which it recommends scheduling one to two times a year.

The cost of a new roof is dependent on several variables, like roofing material, number of stories, and pitch. And when you work with NRG Clean Power, you’ll also need to factor in the cost of solar panels to the overall project. The average price range for a full roof replacement is roughly $5,800 to $12,900. The company recommends asphalt shingles, which average about $5,800 to $12,700.

While NRG Clean Power has an instant quote feature on its website, it’s just to calculate the cost of solar panels and not a roof replacement. Still, you’ll need an onsite assessment regardless to get an accurate estimate. You can schedule an appointment on the company’s website.
