Yes, you can install solar panels on a flat roof. In fact, flat roofs are often considered ideal for solar panel installations because they offer a flat, unobstructed surface for panel placement.

Consulting with a professional roofer like Blackstone Roofing Ltd is recommended for a successful solar installation.
