Older rural houses are getting new metal roofs out here all the time. It's actually a really common trend out this way. It is one of those upgrades you can add to a house that actually retains its value when you go to resell... Most metal roofs have lifespans that are minimum double that of shingles and, per your example, solar panels. Of course, most people buying in the countryside aren't intending on moving out in fewer than 6 years; 7 minimum is generally considered the break even point around here.
