For Tampa Bay roofing companies
Become a Verified Solar-Safe Roofer.
Homeowners with solar get nervous when they need a new roof. They worry about leaks, voided warranties and a system that never works again. The Solar-Safe Roofer badge tells them you've got it handled, and we back it on every job: a licensed contractor removes and reinstalls the panels, the permit gets pulled, every roof attachment is new, and the work carries a no-leak warranty.
No cost to be listed. Renewed every year.
What the badge tells your customer
Five promises behind every Solar-Safe roof
The badge only means something because the work behind it is the same every time. When you sell a roof on a solar home, this is what your customer gets:
A licensed contractor does the solar
Not your roofing crew and not a salesman's side guy. A Florida-licensed electrical contractor removes and reinstalls the system.
A permit on every job
Pulled in the right county or city, and inspected.
All new roof attachments
New attachments go into the new roof. Old flashings are never reused.
A photo report
The homeowner sees the panels staged, the new attachments, and the system back online.
A no-leak warranty
25 years on every roof penetration made for the solar reinstall.
Why roofers want it
The badge sells roofs. Here's how.
Win the solar homes
Plenty of roofers avoid homes with panels, or quietly pass them to a side crew. With the badge you can go after them openly, and close them.
Kill the objection early
"What happens to my solar?" stops the sale on a solar home. The badge answers it before your salesman has to.
Show it everywhere
Partners get the badge files for their website, proposals, trucks and yard signs, plus a live listing homeowners can check.
Get found by homeowners
Verified roofers are listed in the homeowner guide at tampasolarremoval.com/guide, where people researching a reroof with solar land.
Make money on it
You buy the detach and reinstall at a wholesale rate and mark it up. The target is about $1,000 to your bottom line per deal, with a one-page sheet your salesmen can quote from.
Lose the liability
No more unlicensed installer working under your name. A licensed contractor pulls the permit and stands behind the work.
Why it matters
Your salesman's "solar guy" is your liability.
Here's what we keep finding. A salesman lines up a cheap installer on the side, the $150-a-panel guy. No permit gets pulled, because he's unlicensed or uninsured, or because his price can't cover permits and inspections. The old attachments go back on the new roof. The homeowner thinks the roofer hired him. When the roof leaks or the insurance claim is denied, it's your name on it. The badge is how you show customers that isn't you.
The side-deal installer
- No permit, no inspection
- Often unlicensed or uninsured
- Reuses old roof attachments
- Answers to your salesman, not you
- Gone when the leak shows up
A Solar-Safe roof
- Permit pulled and inspected every time
- Licensed contractor does the solar work
- All new attachments on every reinstall
- Committed to the owner, not the salesman
- 25-year no-leak warranty on the penetrations
With the right solar partner, you sleep when it rains instead of sweating it.
Our promise to badge holders
We hand the roof back to you.
The company that does the solar work behind the badge, Fused Solar and Roofing, never quotes or sells a roof to a homeowner you bring in. It's written into the partner agreement, not just said on a call.
More solar companies are adding roofing so they can take the whole job. We're going the other way. We do the solar work on your customer's home and step back. And when our own solar customers need a new roof, Solar-Safe roofers get the work.
How to get verified
Three steps to the badge
Book 20 minutes
A Google Meet call with Duane Wright, our general manager. You'll go over the standard, your wholesale rate and the one-page sheet for your salesmen.
Sign the partner agreement
It puts the no-compete promise in writing. On each job you're our customer, so you set the homeowner's price. You pay 10% at invoice and 90% when the system is back on.
Get your badge and listing
You get the badge files, a code snippet for your website and your listing in the homeowner guide. Every solar roof you sell runs through one scheduler, so your crew never shows up to panels still on the roof.
Badges are renewed each year. A roofer who stops routing solar work through a licensed contractor, or stops meeting the five promises, is removed from the listing.
Questions owners ask
Straight answers
What does the badge cost?
Nothing. There's no fee to be listed or to use the badge. It comes with routing your solar detach and reinstall work through the program.
Who stands behind the badge?
It's published by Fuze Inc., doing business as Fused Solar and Roofing. We're the licensed contractor that does the solar work behind it, and the homeowner guide says so plainly. The badge tells your customer exactly who does the solar work and how.
Will you try to sell a roof to a homeowner I bring in?
No. It's in the partner agreement: we never quote or sell a roof to a homeowner a badge holder brought in.
Who pays for the detach and reinstall?
You do. You sign the agreement and set the homeowner's price. You pay 10% at invoice and 90% when the system is producing again.
Which solar systems are covered?
Most residential systems, including Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, Generac, Fronius and SMA, plus systems whose original installer has gone out of business. A free site inspection comes first to confirm the roof type and racking.
What about the old rails?
Every reinstall gets all new roof attachments. Existing rails are reused unless they're too old to meet code. If they are, rail replacement is priced as its own line before the job starts.
