Would Malarkey shingles survive a solar-powered zombie apocalypse?

Picture this: it’s 2032, the grid’s down, zombies are everywhere, and you’re holed up in your house with a roof full of Malarkey shingles and a shiny new set of solar panels. But… do those shingles actually hold up with all that extra weight and hardware? Or do they start cracking under pressure (literally)? I’ve heard mixed things about how well they work with solar installs, especially after a few years of wild weather. Anyone want to pick up the story from here—maybe your panels saved you from a zombie horde, or maybe your roof caved in at the worst possible moment?

Yeah, I hear you on the deck and flashing—my neighbor’s roof looked fine until we had that hailstorm last spring. The Malarkeys held up okay, but the spots where the solar guys missed the flashing started leaking. I’m not convinced any shingle can make up for a sloppy install, especially with all that extra gear bolted on. Still, I’d rather patch a few leaks than deal with zombies chewing through the attic, I guess…
