When you need solar panel removal for roof replacement
- Reroof. Your roof is at the end of its life.
- Roof repair. Damage under or near the panels.
- Leak. Water is getting in, and the source may be under the array.
Some call it detach and reset. Same job.
How the process works
- Inspection before anything comes off
- Removal of panels and racking
- Storage on your property when possible
- Reinstall on the finished roof
- Testing to confirm it’s producing
- Monitoring check so you can see it working
Timing depends on your roof work. We set the schedule with you before anything comes off.

Working with your own roofer
Already have a roofer? Fine. We coordinate timing so the panels come off before the roof work and go back on when it’s done.
Upgrading while panels are off
Panels already off? It can be a good time to ask about adding panels or a battery. Changes can affect your net metering, so ask us when you call.
