Tyler Hutchings, owner of Solar Detach and Reset, reveals the critical intersection of roofing and solar that most homeowners never consider until they face an expensive problem.

Bird debris creates dams during rainstorms that push acidic waste under tiles, eating through underlayment and accelerating roof deterioration.
