Generate Power Where You Use It Most

Residential solar panel installation services in Tulsa

When your home relies entirely on grid electricity, you pay the full cost of every kilowatt hour, even during peak rate periods. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity on your roof, which reduces the amount of power you draw from the utility and lowers your monthly bill. If you live in Claremore and surrounding areas and want to generate your own electricity without relying on a power company, solar panel installation gives you a way to offset usage during the day when the sun is brightest. Summit Roofing & Solar installs roof-safe solar mounting systems that integrate with your existing roofing without compromising the waterproof seal.


Residential solar panel installation involves evaluating your roof pitch, orientation, and shading to determine the best placement for maximum energy production. Energy-saving solar solutions include panel selection, inverter sizing, and electrical integration with your home's circuit panel. Seamless integration with roofing systems means the mounting brackets are flashed and sealed to prevent leaks, and the panels are wired in a way that minimizes visible conduit and preserves your home's appearance.


If you want to reduce your reliance on the grid and generate electricity from your roof, reach out to Summit Roofing & Solar to schedule a solar evaluation in Claremore and surrounding areas.

What Happens During a Solar Panel Install

When you schedule solar installation in Claremore and surrounding areas, the crew begins by marking the mounting points on your roof and securing the racking system to the rafters using lag bolts and flashing kits. Each mounting bracket is sealed to prevent water from entering the roof deck, and the racking is leveled to ensure the panels sit flush. The panels are then clamped to the rails, wired in series or parallel depending on your system design, and connected to an inverter that converts DC power to AC power your home can use.


After installation, you will notice that your meter slows down or even runs backward during sunny days, which means your home is using solar power instead of drawing from the grid. Professional, code-compliant installs include electrical inspections and utility approval, so your system is legal, safe, and eligible for net metering if your utility offers it. Long-term performance support ensures that if a panel stops producing or the inverter fails, you have access to troubleshooting and warranty service.


Summit Roofing & Solar uses mounting systems designed to withstand wind loads and snow accumulation without damaging the roof surface. Installation does not include battery storage, electrical panel upgrades, or trenching for ground-mounted systems unless those are added separately. The system is designed to work with your existing roof and electrical setup, and the panels are positioned to avoid shading from chimneys, vents, or nearby trees.

Solar Questions Are Normal Before Installing

People in Claremore and surrounding areas usually want to know how much power solar panels generate, what happens on cloudy days, and whether their roof can support the weight. These questions come up because solar is a long-term investment, and understanding how the system works helps you decide whether it fits your energy needs.

How much electricity do solar panels produce?

Production depends on your roof size, panel efficiency, and the amount of sunlight your location receives. In Claremore and surrounding areas, a typical residential system produces between 20 and 40 kilowatt hours per day during peak months, which can offset a significant portion of your energy use.

What happens on cloudy or rainy days?
Solar panels still produce electricity on cloudy days, just at a lower rate. Your home draws from the grid when solar production is insufficient, and any excess power generated on sunny days can be credited back if your utility offers net metering.
How long does solar panel installation take?

Most residential solar installations in Claremore and surrounding areas are completed in one to three days, depending on the system size, roof complexity, and whether electrical panel upgrades are needed. Permitting and utility approval can add a few weeks to the overall timeline.

Will solar panels damage my roof?
When installed correctly, solar panels do not damage your roof. The mounting brackets are flashed and sealed to prevent leaks, and the weight is distributed across the rafters. Summit Roofing & Solar inspects the roof before installation to ensure it can support the system.
When should I consider solar panel installation?
You should consider solar if your roof is in good condition, your energy bills are consistently high, and your home receives unobstructed sunlight for most of the day. Installing solar on a roof that needs replacement in the next few years is usually not cost-effective.
