Solar panels need to be on every home and how new builds in many countries still don't require them baffles me.

Might be cause they make roof redos or fumigation even more expensive. I had a customer say they were paying 3k to get their panels removed so they could pay another 3k to fumigate the house. Almost doubled the price.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that we should require panels in new builds somehow but I don't know what the best option is.

Sounds like a scam. Houses round me had their roof tiles replaced recently and the guys just took the solar panels off and put them back on after no problem without inflating the price. Perhaps it varies on how the panels are installed, but most I have seen are just under the tiles and attached to the roof frame.

And the benefits far out weigh the slight extra cost of a roof retile every 20 or so years.

What sort of prices were they charging?

There and around $13000 I believe
