WHY THIS MATTERS

Solar Panels and Roof Work Don't Mix — Unless It's Done Right

Roofers generally won't work around an active solar array, and removing panels without the right process can damage wiring, void warranties, or leave your system unsafe to reconnect. That's where we come in.

We coordinate the electrical disconnection, panel removal, secure storage, and full reinstallation around your roofing timeline — whether you're using your own roofer or one of our partners — so nothing gets missed.

This service is also commonly needed for roof repairs after storm damage, or when a home inspection during a sale flags roof work underneath existing panels.

HOW IT WORKS

Three Phases, One Coordinated Team

1

Disconnect

A licensed electrician safely disconnects your solar system from the grid and your home's electrical panel.

2

Remove & Store

Our solar technicians remove the panels and racking, label every component, and place them in secure storage for the duration of the roof work.

3

Roof Replacement or Repair

Your roofer completes the roofing work on a clear, unobstructed roof deck — often faster and safer than working around panels.

4

Reinstall

We reinstall the racking, wiring, and panels in their original configuration once the new roof is complete.

5

Recommission & Test

The system is reconnected, tested, and recommissioned to confirm it's producing at full capacity before we consider the job done.

WHAT IT TYPICALLY COSTS

General Pricing Guidance

Every home and system is different, but here's what typically factors into cost. We'll give you an exact number after a quick assessment of your system.

Removal & Reinstallation

Commonly ranges from roughly $1,500–$6,000 for an average residential system (about 15–25 panels), depending on system size and roof complexity.

Storage

If off-site storage is needed during roof work, it typically adds a modest flat fee for the duration of the project.

Optional Panel Cleaning

Many homeowners have panels cleaned before reinstallation, which is billed separately per panel and helps restore full production.

FAQ

Common Questions

Can I use my own roofer for the actual roof replacement?

Yes. We handle the disconnection, removal, storage, and reinstallation of your solar system, and can coordinate directly with your chosen roofing contractor.

Will removing my panels void my solar warranty?

Not when it's done by trained technicians following manufacturer guidelines. We follow proper disconnection and handling procedures to keep your equipment warranties intact.

How long does the whole process take?

Removal typically takes a day, the roofing work depends on your roofer's timeline, and reinstallation is usually completed within a day or two once the new roof is ready.

Do I need to be home during removal or reinstallation?

It's helpful but not always required — we'll confirm access needs (like reaching your electrical panel) when scheduling.

Will my system produce less power after reinstallation?

No — when panels are reinstalled correctly and the system is recommissioned properly, it should perform the same as before, and cleaning during the process can sometimes improve output.
