Trusted Local Experts

SunSent helps Kansas City, KS homeowners plan solar and roofing projects around the age and condition of their roof. Many homes in Wyandotte County are older, so we start with a roof readiness review before talking about panels.

Residential Solar Installation

For many Kansas City, KS homeowners, solar may help lower electricity costs over time, but only if the roof under it is in good shape. That is why we review roof age and condition first.

Why Roof Condition Matters

Before installing solar panels on your roof, it’s important to ensure that your roof is in good condition. This ensures the safety and effectiveness of your solar energy system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a roof review before installing solar?

Yes. A roof readiness review helps determine whether your roof is in good condition before solar panels are installed.

Does SunSent serve Kansas City, KS?

Yes. SunSent serves Kansas City, KS and nearby Wyandotte County communities.

What areas near Kansas City, KS do you serve?

SunSent can support homeowners in Kansas City, Bonner Springs, Edwardsville, Mission, and nearby Wyandotte County communities.

I've heard KCK has a Unified Government. What does that mean for getting a roofing or solar permit?

Kansas City, Kansas is unusual in that the city and Wyandotte County operate as a single consolidated government — the Unified Government (UG). That means roofing and solar permits go through one entity rather than navigating both a city office and a separate county office. For homeowners, that’s simpler than you might expect. The UG’s Building Inspection division handles permit applications for residential work including roofing replacements and solar installations. We file all permits directly with the UG and manage the inspection scheduling on your behalf.

Can solar be installed on an older roof?

It depends on the roof condition. If the roof is near the end of its life, roofing work may be recommended before solar installation.

KCK has a lot of older homes. What should I expect from a roof inspection on a pre-1960 house?

KCK’s housing stock — particularly in neighborhoods like Argentine, Armourdale, and Rosedale — is among the oldest in the Kansas City metro, with heavy concentrations of pre-1960 and even pre-WWII construction. That era of housing often has board sheathing rather than plywood, layered roofing from multiple replacement cycles, and original or early-replacement electrical panels that may need upgrading before solar interconnection. We treat each pre-1960 KCK home as a full structural assessment, not just a roofing quote, and we identify anything that needs addressing before it becomes a surprise mid-project.

Do you offer storm damage roof reviews?

Yes. SunSent can review signs of storm-related roof damage before planning a solar project.

Do you offer backup power solutions?

Yes. SunSent can help homeowners explore backup power options for added energy security.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I had solar panels installed on my home a few years ago by SunSent Solar. I wasn't sure if it was the right choice for me and it was a big leap and not all that inexpensive. Fortunately it was the right decision as the project has greatly reduced my expense from the electric company. I now pay for electricity for just 3 or 4 months during the winter and even those bills are much less that what I had before. I am saving thousands each year and with electricity prices continuing to rise the gear will pay for itself sooner than I thought possible. I am so glad I had the solar installed and highly recommend SunSent Solar for providing the same benefit for others. The best financial move I ever made.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I've been a Sunsent (Solar) customer for several years, and recently my system encountered an issue. The technician they sent out, Jon, came out diagnosed and addressed the issue promptly. He even offered to address an issue outside of the scope of his work (but within the scope of the company). If you get Jon as a technician, you should relax because you're in good hands!

In 90* heat after a 5 hour drive to get here, they remained professional, determined, and focused on getting everything working properly. I totally appreciate their dedication and commitment. Highly recommend them and grateful for their hard work.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jordan and the team did a great job at installing our panels back in October. We were lucky enough to get the tax credit from the federal government last year as well for the install. With a pool and air-conditioner running the entire month plus June being a hot one our electric bill was only $41 put that into contrast at the same time as last year when it was $360. Months of May, April, and March our bill was $0 and even got a credit for some months. With not having any other electric company besides AMEREN you really have two choices... continue to pay what they bill you or produce your own power. Yes there is a quite an upfront cost but if you plan on staying in your house for 10 years it will come close to paying you back and you will have one less expense.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.I purchased solar panels for my house from sunset solar and I have zero regrets. Jordan was so helpful through the whole process and has made sure even with time to check back in. With My monthly payment and my ameren bill combined, it’s not near as much as I used to pay. One month my ameren bill was even negative. So happy I made this purchase and would recommend them to anyone! :)
