Solar panel removal and reinstall for a roof replacement

Solar panels have to come off before a roof is torn off and go back on after the new roof is finished, and Florida Solar Reset handles both phases for homeowners as one job with one price.

Most roofing companies will not touch a live solar array, so the homeowner is left to arrange it. We do that work statewide out of Tampa: the array comes off before your roofer starts, the panels are protected while the roof is replaced, and the system goes back on the new roof with new flashing at every penetration and a production check at the end.

Best if: your roof is being replaced or repaired and the panels are in the way.

How it works

1. Detach

Every panel is photographed and condition-logged before it is touched. The array, racking, and wiring come off by roof plane and go onto padded racks or into a secured trailer — never left loose on an open deck.

2. Your roofer works

The deck is clear for tear-off. Panels stay protected on site, or move to secured storage if the roof runs longer than planned.

3. Reset

Panels go back in their documented positions with new flashing at every penetration, code wind-load attachment, torque checks, bonding continuity, and a production reading compared against the pre-detach numbers.

What removal and reinstall costs
