Solar Panel Removal & Reinstallation

 Yes — in almost all cases, roof replacement requires full removal of your solar panels, racking, and any related hardware. Leaving them in place can damage the system or limit the roofer’s access. Our team will safely remove and reinstall them once the roof is complete. 

 For most systems (10–30 panels), the full removal takes 1 day, and reinstallation takes 1–2 days, depending on complexity. We coordinate with your roofer to minimize downtime between removal and reinstallation. 

 No — our licensed solar technicians use manufacturer-approved methods to remove panels without damaging your roof structure. If any holes or penetrations need to be sealed during removal, we handle that or work directly with your roofer to ensure everything is weatherproof. 

 We can still service and reinstall older or discontinued systems, and we’ll assess your components during our initial inspection. If parts are damaged or outdated, we’ll recommend upgrades or compatible replacements during the reinstall. 

Absolutely! A roof replacement is a great opportunity to:

• Add more panels
   
• Upgrade your inverter or add battery backup
   
• Reconfigure panel layout for better sun exposure
   
• Add smart monitoring or a SPAN Smart Panel
   

Just let us know during your consultation and we’ll include upgrade options in your quote.

 In some cases, yes — especially if changes are made to your electrical system. We’ll handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections if required by your local building department. 

 We monitor the weather closely and time removals carefully to avoid leaving you without a roof or protection. If delays are expected, we work closely with your roofer to tarp exposed areas or adjust scheduling to keep your home safe and dry. 

 No — once reinstalled properly, your system should return to full functionality and production levels. We perform a complete system test after reinstallation to ensure everything is working as it was before (or better). 

 Yes! We often coordinate with roofing companies and insurance adjusters. If your roof replacement is part of a storm damage claim, we can provide documentation, invoices, and inspections to support your claim.
