Thinking about solar? Skyline Roofing & Solar makes it easy for St. Louis homeowners to harness the power of solar energy — especially when it's time for a new roof. As both a roofing and solar company, we install your new roof and solar panels together in a single project, saving you time, money, and the hassle of coordinating multiple contractors. Call 314-375-8294 for a free consultation.
YOUR ROOFER AND SOLAR INSTALLER — ALL IN ONE
Here's the problem most homeowners run into with solar: they hire a solar company that installs panels on an aging roof, and two years later they need a roof replacement — which means paying to remove the panels, replace the roof, and reinstall the panels all over again. It's expensive, it's wasteful, and it's completely avoidable.
Skyline Roofing & Solar eliminates that problem. Because we're both a licensed roofing contractor and a solar installer, we evaluate your roof and your solar potential at the same time. If your roof needs work before panels go on, we handle it. If your roof is in great shape, we install your solar system with confidence that it's sitting on a solid foundation.
Based in Oakville, MO with over 35 years of combined roofing experience, we bring a roofer's eye to every solar installation. That means proper flashing, correct penetration sealing, and an installation that protects your roof's integrity — not just one that generates power. Your roof warranty stays intact because the same company that installed the roof is installing the panels.
OUR SOLAR SERVICES
Residential Solar Panel Installation
Skyline installs high-efficiency solar panel systems for homes throughout Greater St. Louis. We design each system based on your roof's orientation, pitch, shading, and your household's energy usage to maximize your return on investment.
- Custom system design based on your home's specific conditions
- High-efficiency panels from trusted manufacturers
- Professional installation by a team that understands roofing and solar
- Guidance on available federal tax credits and Missouri incentives
Solar isn't one-size-fits-all. We design your system to match your home, your energy goals, and your budget.
Roof Replacement + Solar Bundle
This is where Skyline's dual expertise saves you the most money. If your roof is 15 or more years old, replacing it before or during your solar installation is the smartest financial move you can make. We bundle both projects into a single scope of work — one crew, one timeline, one company standing behind everything.
- Save thousands by avoiding future panel removal and reinstallation
- One combined project timeline instead of two separate disruptions
- Single warranty coverage — your roof and solar are backed by the same company
- Financing available through Acorn Finance for the combined project
If you're getting quotes from solar-only companies, ask them what happens when your roof needs replacing in five years. Then call Skyline.
WHY COMBINE YOUR ROOF AND SOLAR WITH ONE COMPANY
Most solar companies don't know roofing. Most roofers don't do solar. Skyline does both — and that makes all the difference. Here's why bundling your roof and solar with one contractor is the smarter move.
Protect Your Roof Warranty
01
When a solar-only company drills into your roof, your roofing warranty can be voided. When Skyline installs both, your roof warranty stays fully intact because we control the entire installation.
02
Avoid the Double-Pay Problem
Installing solar on an old roof means paying to remove panels, replace the roof, and reinstall panels later. Bundling both now eliminates that $5,000–$10,000 future expense entirely.
03
One Point of Contact
No more coordinating between a roofer and a solar installer. Skyline manages both projects under one scope, one timeline, and one point of contact from start to finish.
04
Proper Roof Penetrations
Every solar panel mount requires penetrations through your roofing material. A roofer who installs solar knows how to flash and seal those penetrations correctly. A solar tech with no roofing experience is a leak waiting to happen.
05
Combined Financing
Through our partnership with Acorn Finance, you can finance your new roof and solar installation together in a single loan — one monthly payment for the whole project.
06
One Warranty, One Company
If your roof leaks near a solar mount, who's responsible — the roofer or the solar company? When Skyline does both, there's no finger-pointing. We own the entire system and we stand behind all of it.
SOLAR PANEL FAQs — OAKVILLE & GREATER ST. LOUIS, MO
Is St. Louis a good area for solar panels?
Yes. Despite the Midwest reputation, Greater St. Louis receives enough annual sunlight to make solar a strong investment for most homeowners. St. Louis averages over 200 sunny days per year, and modern high-efficiency panels generate meaningful power even on cloudy days. Many Skyline solar customers see significant reductions in their monthly electric bills.
How much does solar panel installation cost in St. Louis?
Residential solar systems in the St. Louis area typically range from $15,000 to $35,000 before tax credits, depending on system size and your home's energy needs. The federal solar tax credit can reduce that cost by 30%. Skyline provides free consultations with a detailed cost and savings estimate tailored to your home.
Should I replace my roof before installing solar panels?
If your roof is 15 or more years old, yes — replacing it before or during your solar installation is strongly recommended. Installing panels on an aging roof means you'll eventually have to pay to remove the panels, replace the roof, and reinstall them. Skyline bundles both projects to save you time and money.
How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels are warrantied for 25 years and can continue producing power well beyond that. When paired with a new roof from Skyline, your home is set up for decades of protection and energy savings with both systems installed by the same company.
Will solar panels damage my roof?
Not when installed correctly. Every panel mount requires roof penetrations that must be properly flashed and sealed. Because Skyline is a roofing company first, we know exactly how to make those penetrations without compromising your roof's integrity. This is the key advantage of choosing a roofer who does solar over a solar company that doesn't understand roofing.
Does Skyline offer financing for solar installation?
Yes. Through our partnership with Acorn Finance, you can finance your solar installation — or a combined roof and solar project — with competitive rates and flexible terms. Check pre-qualified offers in minutes with no impact to your credit score.
WHY CHOOSE SKYLINE FOR SOLAR
Roofers First, Solar Experts Second
We started as a roofing company and added solar because we saw too many homeowners get burned by solar installers who didn't understand roofs. Our roofing-first approach means your panels are installed on a roof that's built to last — and every penetration is sealed the way a roofer would do it, not the way a solar tech would.
Roof + Solar Under One Warranty
When separate companies handle your roof and solar, warranty disputes are inevitable. With Skyline, one company owns the entire system. If anything goes wrong — whether it's a roof issue or a solar issue — you make one call and we handle it.
Local to St. Louis — Here for the Long Haul
We're not a national solar franchise that may not be around in five years. Skyline is a woman-owned, locally operated company based in Oakville, MO. We've been serving Greater St. Louis for over 35 years and we plan to be here for 35 more. Your solar investment is backed by a company that isn't going anywhere.

Whether you're ready to go solar today or just exploring your options, Skyline Roofing & Solar will give you a straight answer.

And if your roof needs attention first, we'll handle that too.
