Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall

Roof replacement, storm damage or a move — panels come off safely and go back on properly, with the array re-commissioned and producing before we leave.

Top Four Reasons Panels Need Removing

  • The Roof Wore Out Before the Panels DidPanels last twenty-five years and a Central Texas composition roof does not. Most removals happen because the roof underneath reached the end first.
  • Hail and Storm DamageTexas hail means roof replacements on short notice, and the array has to come off before the roofers can start.
  • Old Penetrations LeakMounts that were flashed poorly show up as attic stains years later. A re-roof is the one real chance to correct every penetration properly.
  • Roofers Are Not Solar ElectriciansPanels taken off by a roofing crew come back with pinched leads, cross-threaded grounds and missing optimizers. We get called to fix that more than we would like.

Top Four Solutions to This Problem

  • Remove, Label and Store ProperlyEvery module, optimizer and conductor labeled and mapped as it comes off, stored safely, so what goes back on is what came off.
  • Coordinate Around the Roofing ScheduleWe work to the roofer’s dates so your house is not open longer than it needs to be and nobody stands around waiting.
  • Reinstall With New Flashing and HardwareNew flashings, new seals, correct torque. The reinstall is where a re-roof either fixes your penetrations for good or repeats the same mistakes.
  • Test Everything Before We LeaveFull commissioning after reassembly, every panel confirmed reporting, so you are not finding a dead string next spring.
