Solar Panel Removal: Uninstall & Reinstall

What is the Uninstall/Reinstall Process?

SYSTEM UNINSTALL

The Sun Service Team will remove your system from the roof in one day.

SYSTEM REINSTALL

Solar System reinstall occurs approximately 2 weeks after roof repair completion.

SOLAR PANEL REMOVAL & REINSTALLATION

You may be wondering why a solar servicing company would be willing to talk about solar panel removal, but the reality is that there are many situations that could arise in which you need to uninstall (then reinstall) your solar panels. There are so many parts that make up a home, and occasionally they need to be serviced, cleaned, replaced, or refurbished. Your roof is no exception. Just as you may eventually need to remove your kitchen cabinets, you may need to remove your solar panel system. We’re here to help!

POSSIBLE SOLAR PANEL REMOVAL SITUATIONS

There are several reasons you may need a solar panel removal and reinstallation service. Let’s talk about a few of them:

Your Roof Needs to be Replaced

Unfortunately, there’s no getting around this – if your roof needs to be replaced, your solar panels need to come off of it. Because roofers are not trained in solar panel removal, this is where a professional solar service provider like Sun Service Specialists comes in handy! Our team of experienced solar technicians can efficiently complete both the solar panel removal and the reinstallation once your roof is finished.

Your Solar Panels Need to be Serviced

Though solar panels are extremely sturdy pieces of equipment, there’s always the possibility that they need to be serviced in some way. Solar panel removal is an important part of the servicing process, as you want to make sure you are properly handling the equipment to ensure its safety. If you’re discovering that your solar system hasn’t been operating at peak efficiency and have tried troubleshooting, it may be time to call a professional to service the panels. External factors like wildlife and weathering can cause damage to panels over time, so you want to make sure they remain working properly!

HOW LONG DOES THE SOLAR PANEL REMOVAL PROCESS TAKE?

In most cases, the team at Sun Service Specialists is able to remove the existing solar panel system in one day with the reinstall slated to occur approximately 2 weeks after roof repairs have been completed. Because not having panels on the roof means you aren’t able to produce electricity, it’s our priority to complete the removal and reinstallation process as quickly as possible, but we want to be sure to do so without damaging your new roof!

WILL YOU BE ABLE TO REUSE THE EXISTING EQUIPMENT?

The system components like panels, optimizers, microinverters, wiring, etc. will be reused, but to maintain the integrity of the new roof’s warranty, we will use new racking components which come with a manufacturer’s warranty. The cost of new racking is roughly the same, as it can take a lot of time to try and salvage existing racking components. We treat each removal and reinstallation with the utmost care and attention to detail to ensure no further damage comes to the equipment and you can rest assured that your system will be back on your roof and harnessing energy in no time!

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DIY SOLAR PANEL REMOVAL?

Long story short – yes, it is possible to complete the solar panel removal process by yourself. However, we do not recommend this. On top of potentially damaging your roof and/or panels, you void your warranty by trying to service or remove your panels yourself. If you’re willing to take on this daunting task, that’s up to you, but we recommend hiring professionals for this process.

After going through a very frustrating back and forth with the manufacturer regarding my solar panels, I spoke to Eric to see if he could help me. Unfortunately, he could not right this minute, but he was so transparent, informative and nice that I had to give him 5 stars the minute I got off the phone. After being given the runaround about every aspect of my panels for the last 5 years from every company I've come across, it was such a breath of fresh air to speak to him. If I wasn't selling my house, I wouldn't hesitate to use his company for repairs and maintenance, and I will happily pass his information along to the new owners of my panels! I know he will do an immaculate job taking care of them for the next owners!

Mike and Eric did a great job identifying our wiring problem with our solar panels set up. We feel a huge sigh of relief to be in such good hands and will surely call on them for any needs in the future

I had my inverter installed by Renu Energy Solutions / Sun Service Specialists, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the initial contact to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. They arrived on time, explained the entire process clearly, and completed the installation with great attention to detail. The workmanship was outstanding, and they made sure everything was operating correctly before leaving. They answered all of my questions and took the time to ensure I understood how the system worked. It's refreshing to work with a company that truly values customer service and takes pride in its work. If you're looking for a reliable solar and energy solutions company, I highly recommend Renu Energy Solutions / Sun Service Specialists. Excellent communication, quality work, and a hassle-free experience from start to finish.

A recent storm resulted in a tree falling on a portion of our solar panels, causing significant damage. RenueEnergy/Sun Services was quick to respond and worked with us as we went through the process of finding a contractor to repair the roof damage, and once that was achieved, Noel worked to get us scheduled for the necessary uninstall and reinstall of four new panels (fortunately we were still under warranty). All went smoothly and we're very satisfied with the service we received.

I compared quotes from four different companies before choosing this one. They weren’t the cheapest, but they explained the warranty and maintenance in a way that made sense. After installation, one inverter setting confused me and their support team walked me through it over video call.

I had an odd project requiring the removal and reinstallation of my solar panels. They were installed in 2013, and the company that installed them is out of business. The maker of my inverter nearest service contractors are 225 miles away. Mark went over my options at length, and taught me a lot about how my system works in the process. I recommend Sun Service!
