What's your budget look like? Obviously standing seam metal is superior to
everything else. 3tab asphalt is not only a petro product but its texture
traps water and a lot never runs  off to be collected. Wood shake too will
absorb water and is a good place for microscopic moss & other thingies to
grow. Treated wood leaches out its chemicals over the years and those go
right into your storage tank.
We built with SS metal then didn't have enough money left for the big 10k
storage tank so for now the downspouts just water the grass. Have a plan B
ready we learned.

  A bit off of the solar subject.



  Any recommendations for a new roof that would be an acceptable means for
collecting drinking water?



  Thanks,
