Yes, but not right away. I need new roof shingles, and there are already 2 (or more) layers. I have a hip roof, and I need more insulation, so I will hopefully be able to completely reframe the roof in a steeper gable with a gable dormer, I can get a larger south-facing roof for more panels, and super insulate the entire roof, and gain a full walk-up stair to a much more useable attic space; as well as a new roof.
Now, I am exploring what sort of roof I should use: green plants, metal, or asphalt. A metal roof could have laminated PV solar, and it could have solar hot water tubes underneath it, and it could have a rain water collection system, too. A green roof would be great, but I'm not sure how it would work with PV panels.
