Some examples are below:

Because of the way the seams are designed and closed, the fasteners that adhere the metal to the underlying sheathing are completely protected from the elements and water is sealed out.
When properly installed, standing seams roofs require far less maintenance barring any unusual outside force such as tree/storm damage and can withstand up to 2” hail without cosmetic damage.
Since snow and ice slide off metal roofing, ice dams cannot form, and leaks are prevented.
On average, a standing seam metal roof’s lifespan is roughly double that of asphalt shingles.
It is much easier to install solar panels on Standing Seam metal roofs as the panels can be clamped to the seams instead of creating penetrations as needed for asphalt roofs."
