# Solar Panel Removal and Reinstall

When your roof needs replacement, we safely remove the solar array, store the components, support the roofer, and reinstall once the new roof is in place.

## When you need this

- Roof replacement on a home with an existing solar array
- Major roof repair requiring access under the panels
- Insurance-covered roof work (storm, hail, fire damage)
- Selling a home where a buyer requires a new roof

## What we do

1. **Pre-removal inspection**, we document the existing system, photograph all wiring runs, and verify the inverter and panels are in working order.
2. **Disconnect and remove**, panels, racking, and conduit come off in coordinated phases.
3. **Safe storage**, components stay protected from weather while the roof work is underway.
4. **Roofer coordination**, we work with your roofer (or recommend one) to ensure flashings, conduit penetrations, and underlayment are sequenced correctly.
5. **Reinstall and recommission**, full system reinstallation, electrical recommissioning, monitoring re-enrollment, and utility re-notification.

## What to know

- Removal and reinstall is faster and cheaper than full uninstallation followed by a new install.
- Most projects complete in 5-10 working days, scheduled around your roofer's timeline.
- We coordinate any required utility re-notification, your net metering enrollment stays intact.
