If your roof needs to be replaced and you have solar panels installed, the panels have to come off before any roofing work can begin. Our solar team handles the removal and detachment of your existing solar panels prior to the roof replacement. Once the new roof is completed, the same team reinstalls your solar panels on the new roof and confirms the entire system is producing power correctly before we consider the job done.
Roofing crews cannot replace the decking, underlayment, and shingles beneath a mounted solar array. The panels, racking, and mounting hardware all have to come off so the roof underneath can be fully replaced rather than worked around. Attempting to roof around an installed array leaves old material under the mounts and creates weak points where leaks develop later. A proper detach and reset means the entire roof surface gets replaced, including the sections under your panels.
The typical alternative is coordinating two separate contractors: a solar company to remove and reinstall the panels, and a roofing company for the replacement itself. That means two schedules to align, two crews on your property at different times, and a gap where responsibility is unclear if something goes wrong. Because our solar team and roofing crew work under the same roof, the timeline is coordinated from the start and accountability for the entire project sits with one company.
Solar panels are a significant investment, and they need to be handled correctly during removal, storage, and reinstallation. Our solar team disconnects the system safely, labels and documents the wiring configuration, removes panels and racking without damage, and stores everything securely while the roofing work is completed. Mounting points on the new roof are flashed and sealed properly so the reinstalled system does not become a source of leaks down the road.
Reinstalling the panels is not the end of the job. After the system is back on the new roof, our solar team reconnects it, verifies the wiring, and confirms the system is producing power the way it was before the project started. You will not be left wondering whether your panels are working. We check, we confirm, and we walk you through it before we leave.
If any of the following apply to your home, a detach and reset is likely part of your roof replacement project.
