Reroofing with Solar Panels: Everything You Need to Know

If your roof needs replacing and you already have a solar energy system installed, you might be wondering how to handle reroofing with solar panels. While the idea of removing your panels may seem daunting, it’s a necessary step—and one that SolarFIX handles with expert care. We specialize in solar panel removal and reinstallation, ensuring your system stays protected and performs at its best.

Why Remove Solar Panels Before Reroofing?

1. Protect Your Solar Investment

Your solar panels are a valuable asset. Trying to work around them during a roofing job can lead to accidental damage. At SolarFIX, we safely remove all components, ensuring nothing gets harmed during your roof replacement.

2. Ensure a Proper Roof Replacement

Roofing contractors need full access to the roof deck to inspect, repair, and install new materials. With panels in place, they can’t do a thorough job. Removing the panels first gives your roofers the access they need to do it right.

3. Save Time and Money in the Long Run

Handling solar panel removal and reroofing as a coordinated project avoids extra service charges later. It’s far more cost-effective to remove the panels once and reinstall them after your new roof is installed—saving you both time and money.

Our Process at SolarFIX: Seamless from Start to Finish

Step 1: Consultation and Site Assessment

We begin with a consultation to assess your current solar system and roofing plans. Our team works directly with your roofer to coordinate timelines and ensure a smooth process from day one.

Step 2: Safe and Professional Solar Panel Removal

Our trained technicians handle the removal of your solar panels with precision. We label and store all parts securely, document your system layout, and protect every component for successful reinstallation.

Step 3: Reroofing Begins

With your panels safely removed, your roofing contractor can start their work. This includes:

• Inspecting the structure beneath your roof

• Replacing old or damaged materials

• Installing your chosen roofing system (shingles, tile, or metal)

We stay on standby to reinstall your panels as soon as the roof is complete.

Step 4: Expert Solar Panel Reinstallation

Once the new roof is in place, we return to reinstall your solar panels. We align and reconnect the system precisely, ensuring optimal energy production and system performance.

Step 5: Final System Inspection and Support

After installation, we conduct a full system check to verify everything is working perfectly. And we don’t stop there—SolarFIX is available for ongoing maintenance and support whenever you need us.
