So those shingles are a fossil fuel product and you're going to replace them with an aluminum roof. Gee, I wonder if producing aluminum requires a lot of fossil fueled energy? Oh yeah, it does! Man, that solar powered home sure has one hell of a carbon footprint!

Really, the carbon footprint of an aluminum roof and gutters is going to be even higher than the shingles. But hey, I'm not complaining.
