How it goes, start to finish.
- 1
In-person consultation
We evaluate the site and the work to be done, so there are no surprises on the day.
- 2
Panels come off
We remove all solar panels and components in the work area before tear-off.
- 3
Inspect, adjust, clean
While your roofer works, we inspect, adjust, and clean every panel.
- 4
Reset and test
Once the roof is done, we reset the panels and run a thorough test. Most detach and resets take about 2 to 3 business days from removal to reinstall.
Two ways to handle the panels.
Roofer pulls the panels
Detail Solar detach & reset
As soon as you have a roofing estimate. Panels must come off before tear-off, and calling after the roofing crew is booked is the usual scheduling mistake.
“They did a remove and reset for us so we could get a new roof. The folks in the field and the office are the best. Anything related to solar, call the folks at Detail Solar, you won't regret it.”
Questions, answered.
Can my roofer just take the solar panels off?
We do not recommend it. Equipment warranties and the new roof warranty both suffer when an uncertified crew removes an array. We handle the solar work; your roofer handles the roof.
Will detach and reset void my solar warranty?
Our 25-year workmanship guarantee covers the reinstall. Manufacturer equipment warranties typically want a qualified solar company to do the removal and reset, which is the point of hiring us.
Does insurance cover detach and reset after a storm?
Often the solar removal and reinstall can be a line item on a roof claim. Ask your adjuster. We can document the solar portion. We do not quote a price on this page.
When should I call you relative to the roofer?
As soon as you have a roofing estimate. Panels must come off before tear-off. Calling after the roofing crew is booked is the usual scheduling mistake.
Do you detach systems you did not install?
Yes. Orphaned arrays and other companies’ systems are a normal detach job for us.
