More and more Arizona homeowners are investing in solar energy to lower utility bills and reduce their carbon footprint. But what happens when it’s time to replace or repair your roof?
If your home already has solar panels installed, you’ll need to plan for solar panel removal and reinstallation (Solar R&R) as part of the roofing project.
Why Solar Panels Need to Be Removed Before Roofing Work
Solar panels are installed directly on top of your roofing system. If your roof needs a replacement or major repairs, leaving the panels in place is not an option. Removing and reinstalling ensures:
- Full roof access – Roofers can safely and effectively remove old materials, inspect decking, and install new shingles or tiles.
- Protection for your solar investment – Panels are delicate and expensive. Proper removal prevents accidental damage during roofing work.
- Warranty protection – Both roofing and solar warranties may require professional handling of panels during a reroof to stay valid.
Why You Shouldn’t DIY Solar R&R
While it may be tempting to try handling solar panel removal yourself, these systems are complex. A professional Solar R&R team ensures:
- Safe electrical disconnection and reconnection
- Proper labeling and storage of equipment
- Secure mounting and sealing to prevent roof leaks after reinstallation
- System testing to make sure your solar energy production returns to normal
