Solar Panel Removal and Reinstallation: What You Need to Know

By Removal Reinstall Solar Panels

When it’s time to replace your roof or repair storm damage, you might be wondering: What happens to my solar panels? That’s where we come in. At Removal Reinstall Solar Panels, we specialize in safely removing your solar system and reinstalling it with full functionality — all while protecting your original investment.

Why Would You Need to Remove Solar Panels?

There are several reasons you might need your solar panels temporarily removed:

Roof Replacement or Repair
Whether it’s storm damage or simply time for a new roof, the panels must come off first.

Upgrading to a New Roofing Material
Switching from shingles to tile or metal? Your solar system needs to be re-engineered to fit.

Selling or Buying a Home
Moving your system or verifying its condition during a home sale might require removal and inspection.

System Repairs or Upgrades
If microinverters or cables have failed (often due to weather or animals like squirrels), we can remove, test, and reinstall and even upgrade if needed.


Why Hire Professionals for Removal and Reinstallation?

This process is more than just unscrewing a few panels. DIY or hiring unlicensed contractors can void your warranty, cause system failures, and even create electrical or roof hazards.

At Removal Reinstall Solar Panels, we are:

Certified with major brands including Tesla, Sunrun, Enphase, and Solaria

Licensed & Insured for both roofing and solar work

Fast – Our teams are trained for speed and accuracy, often completing the process in a day

Affordable – We offer transparent quotes and fair pricing for every type of roof and mounting system


How the Process Works

Here’s what to expect:

  1. Free Inspection
    We assess your system and roof type, number of panels, mounting configuration, and any electrical needs.

  2. Safe Removal
    Panels are carefully removed and stored on-site in a secure area (garage, backyard, or as you prefer).

  3. Optional Upgrades
    Want to add battery storage, switch to rail mounts, or replace damaged parts? We offer those too.

  4. Roofing Work
    Your roofer completes their job with or without our coordination.

  5. Reinstallation
    We reinstall your solar system, perform electrical testing, and ensure everything is connected and running just like before (or better).

  6. Final Inspection & System Activation
    We confirm your system is fully functional and assist with any re-permitting or inspections if needed.


How Much Does It Cost to Remove and Reinstall Solar Panels?

Costs vary depending on:

  1. Roof type (shingle, tile, metal, etc.)
  2. System size (number of panels)
  3. Mounting type (rail, rail-less, landscape layout)
  4. Stories of the home and accessibility
  5. Condition of parts (e.g., cables, inverters)
  6. Brand-specific requirements (Tesla, Sunrun, etc.)

We always provide a clear quote up front — no surprises. In most cases, we reuse your existing system parts, and only recommend replacements if necessary.

DIY removal or hiring unlicensed contractors can lead to costly mistakes, including voided warranties and unsafe electrical issues. That’s why it’s important to understand how solar systems work and the risks involved.
