Solar Detach and Reset
Have solar panels? That’s not a problem — it’s just an extra step. We carefully remove your panels, complete the roof replacement, and reinstall everything properly. Your system will work exactly like it did before.
What We Do
Solar Removal for Roof Replacement
When your roof needs replacing and you have solar panels, they must come off first. We carefully detach each panel, label all connections, and store everything safely while we complete your roof replacement. We coordinate with your solar company or ours to ensure the removal is done properly and doesn’t void any solar warranties.
Solar Removal for Roof Repair
Sometimes, roof repairs require removing panels to access damaged areas underneath. We remove only the panels necessary for the repair, fix the roof properly, then reinstall and reconnect. This protects your panels from damage during the repair and ensures we can fix the problem completely.
Solar Panel Reinstallation
After your roof work is complete, we reinstall your panels exactly as they were. We work with your solar company or ours to reconnect the electrical system, test everything, and confirm your system is producing power again before we leave.
Why This Matters
Improper removal can crack panels, damage wiring, and void solar warranties. We’ve done this process many times. Panels are carefully labeled before removal, stored safely during the roof work, and reinstalled with the same attention to detail as the original installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to contact my solar company?
We recommend letting them know, and we’re happy to coordinate directly with them. Some solar companies want to handle the disconnection and reconnection themselves — we work with whatever process they prefer.
Will removing my panels void the solar warranty?
Only if done improperly. We follow manufacturer guidelines for panel removal and reinstallation. If your solar company has specific requirements, we follow those too.
How much does solar detach and reset add to the cost of a roof replacement?
It depends on the number of panels and system complexity. We’ll include the full cost in your estimate upfront — no surprises.
Will my solar system work the same after reinstallation?
Yes. We test the system after reinstallation to confirm it’s producing correctly before we leave.
