By Introduction
If you’re replacing your roof or renovating your home and already have solar panels installed, you’re probably wondering: “How do I remove my solar panels and put them back without damaging anything or voiding my warranty?” Here’s everything you need to know.
1. Why Remove Solar Panels?
Homeowners may need to temporarily remove their solar panels for several reasons:
- Roof replacement or repairs
- Home remodeling or new construction
- Upgrading to a new roofing material
- Moving or selling the home
- Insurance claims or storm damage restoration
2. Can any Contractor do This?
No. Removing and reinstalling solar panels is not a DIY project. You need a licensed and experienced solar contractor to handle the electrical disconnection, proper storage, and safe reinstallation of your system.
Choosing the wrong company can:
- Void your manufacturer’s warranty
- Damage panels or inverters
- Compromise your roof’s integrity
- Result in failed inspections or energy loss
At RemovalReinstall.com, our team is certified, insured, and specializes in this exact service across Florida.
3. Our Process: Step by Step
1. System Inspection & Safety Check
We begin by evaluating your system’s condition, making sure everything is safe and up to code before disconnection.
2. Safe Disconnection
We shut off your system from the main service panel, inverter, and grid. Each component is labeled and documented.
3. Careful Panel Removal
We remove each panel individually using proper tools, protecting both the solar equipment and your roofing structure.
4. Secure Storage
We store panels in a safe, dry location at your property during the roofing process—or we can transport and store them off-site if needed.
5. Reinstallation & Testing
Once the new roof is ready, we reinstall the panels in their original or upgraded configuration, run full electrical tests, and re-activate your system.
