Roof repairs and reroofing often mean the panels have to come down first. SolarFIX removes the array, keeps the parts organized, then reinstalls and tests the system after the roof work is done.
See how it works, step by step ↓The process
Your new roof goes in between our two visits. Your roofer sets the pace, and we schedule around them. Here's what happens at each stage and what we need from you.
1. Disconnect
2. Remove
3. Store on site
4. Panels off
5. Reinstall & test01 · Before we start
We line up the removal date with your roofer's schedule and agree with you on where the panels will be stored.
Tell us who your roofer is and when they plan to start. We can talk with them directly.
If you know how many panels you have, or can send a photo of the roof, we can scope the job faster.

We give you a window for the day and let you know when the crew is on the way.
The roof, the main electrical panel and the inverter. Please unlock gates and keep pets inside.
We photograph the array layout and point out anything that's already damaged before it comes down.
We safely shut the system down, disconnect it, and take down panels, racking and wiring as the job needs.
Everything is labeled and stacked neatly, usually in the garage or a side yard. We'll agree on the spot with you.
Until reinstall, the panels make no power. Your home runs on the grid as usual, so expect a higher bill for that stretch.
03 · Between visits
Please don't turn the solar back on or move the stored panels. We'll handle both.
That's expected. Your monitoring app may send alerts while the system is down.
Weather, materials and roof inspections can move dates.
Call us, or have your roofer call us, and we'll book your reinstall.
With the panels already down, it's the easiest time to replace damaged panels, add battery backup or make other changes. Ask your tech.

Panels go back on with flashed mounts, backed by our 10-year roof penetration warranty.
We reconnect the wiring and inverter and turn your system back on.
We check that the system is producing and that monitoring is reporting again.
Before we leave, your tech goes over the work and answers your questions.
Monitoring can take a day or two to catch up. If you changed your Wi-Fi name or password, tell us so we can reconnect it.
Homeowner guide
The same guide we hand homeowners on removal day: what we do and what to expect, from the day the panels come off to the day they go back on.
Your solar panels have to come off before the roof work starts. SolarFIX handles the solar side from start to finish, and we work with your roofer so both jobs line up.

What we can help with
Detach the array so the roofer can reach the roof, then reset it once the roofing work is complete.
For roofersAccess flashing, penetrations, or damaged roofing beneath the panels without treating the array as disposable.
Removal can also be part of panel replacement or other work on the existing system.
Panel replacementThe existing SolarFIX cost guide cites about $3,750 as an average from its data. Your price depends on array size, roof, access, and scope; roof replacement itself is separate. Get a job-specific quote before scheduling.
Read the R&R cost guide →Tell us about the roof, the panel count if you know it, and your roofer's timeline. We can scope the removal and reinstall from there.
