There are few emerging trends in the roofing space hotter than solar as the final quarter of 2022 settles in. Whether it’s through innovative product launches, groundbreaking research, or proving its potential for resiliency in both fiscal terms and physical reality, solar is driving a lot of interest in residential and commercial roofing markets around the country.
And roofing contractors are paying attention. With new federal and state policies extending solar investment tax credits for at least another decade, the potential business opportunity is too great for many to let pass by. According to survey data compiled in RC’s 2022 State of the Industry Report, roughly 56% of residential contractors indicated their solar sales increased last year, and nearly half (47%) expected another increase by the end of 2022.
