Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall

What This Service Involves

Many Puget Sound roofs installed before the solar boom now need replacement while a working array still sits on top. We carefully de-energize, label, and remove each panel and rail set, store it protected from the weather, and reroof the clean deck. The panels then go back on fresh flashing and blocking, often with upgraded standoffs that outperform the original mounts. This spares you from scrapping still-productive panels just because the shingles wore out first.

Benefits

Keeps productive panels in service through a reroof; Upgrades mounting flashing during the reinstall; Coordinates de-energizing and reconnection safely; Protects panels with controlled handling and covered storage; Avoids the cost of a whole new solar system

Our Process

1) Coordinate shutdown and disconnect the array with a licensed electrician; 2) Remove and label panels, rails, and hardware for protected storage; 3) Complete the roof replacement with new flashing at every mount point; 4) Reinstall the panels, reconnect, and verify the system produces normally

What Affects the Cost

Number of panels and the complexity of the racking system; Condition and reusability of the existing rails and hardware; Electrical disconnect and reconnection labor; Temporary storage and handling requirements; Roof size and the material being installed underneath

Best Time of Year

Plan a detach-and-reset during dry summer weeks so the array is off and the deck exposed for the shortest possible window.
