Your School May Qualify for Restored Roofs with No Upfront Capital Cost as Part of a Solar Service Agreement

Since we don’t have a dedicated fund for anything more than minor roof repairs, the roof restoration meant that we were able to get three of our schools’ roofs restored and guaranteed for 25 years and avoid the larger cost of replacing those roofs.

Between 20% and 35% of American schools need roof repairs or replacements, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. And with pandemic-era federal funding phasing out while costs for construction materials and labor are rising, schools are finding it harder and harder to pay for roof work.

If your school needs roof repairs, you may have been told that work has to be put off to future budget years. But, as the old saying goes, you can pay a little now, or a lot later. Deferring roof maintenance can let minor problems turn into critical damage requiring a full roof replacement — at much greater cost.

Many schools that go solar on campus with Secure Solar Futures have found a solution to get their roof repairs now without waiting. They’ve moved their roof work from capital budgets to operating budgets with our Resilient Solar + Roof Restoration®.

This offering combines solar power with roof restoration under a single service agreement with no upfront capital cost. Payments for both solar power and roof restoration are made on a monthly basis after the work is done. Moving roof expenses from CAPEX to OPEX allows schools to fix roof problems in the short term, before they become critical and without having to wait for capital budget funds to be allocated.

And the best news is that both the solar power system and the roof work are the highest quality. That’s why roof restoration comes with an industry-leading 25-year warranty.

In the video below, Doug Arnold of Orange County Public Schools in Virginia talks about how going solar with Secure Solar Futures also helped him get restored roofs without having to wait for new capital budget.
