Replacing a Roof With Solar On It

Two trades, one project: your roofer replaces the roof, we handle everything solar — off before, back on after, sealed and verified. It works with the roofer of your choice (or the one your insurance picked), and when the two schedules are coordinated properly, the whole thing is boring in the best possible way.

  • Works with any licensed roofer — yours, ours to coordinate with, never to replace
  • Panels typically off just before tear-off and back on within days of final inspection
  • Every penetration flashed and sealed — 100% money-back no-leak guarantee
  • Tesla, Sunrun and leased systems handled — we are certified and do the paperwork

The Sequence

How the project actually runs, start to finish

Solar panels reset on a brand new tile roof in Buckeye, Arizona
The finish line: new roof, panels back, sealed, producing, warrantied.
  1. Quote and schedule — before the roofer is locked in, ideally. Send the address and panel count; you get an exact per-panel quote the same day. We then coordinate dates directly with your roofing contractor so neither trade waits on the other.
  2. Detach — usually the day before tear-off. Every panel and conductor labeled, the system safely de-energized, panels staged on site or warehoused, existing roof and equipment condition photo-documented so nothing becomes a dispute later.
  3. Your roofer roofs. We stay out of the way. Mount locations are marked for the new roof, and if the roof plan changes mid-job, your roofer has a direct line to us.
  4. Reset — within days of your final roofing inspection. New or reused mounts flashed and sealed into the new roof to manufacturer spec, hardware torqued to spec, system re-strung, re-commissioned and production-verified — then the panels are cleaned, which is why systems often produce more after a reset than before.
  5. Paperwork and warranty. Photo reports from both visits, permits and utility paperwork where required, our 10-year workmanship warranty covering every nut, bolt and electrical connection we touch, and the 100% money-back no-leak guarantee on every penetration — sitting alongside your roofer’s new roof warranty instead of undermining it.

The question that matters: who warranties the holes?

A new roof with solar bolted back through it has one weak point: the penetrations. If the roofer’s crew moves the panels, the roofer warranties a trade they do not practice. If a solar generalist does it, your roofer’s warranty gains an asterisk. Our answer is clean: your roofer warranties the roof, we warranty every penetration we make — with money back if one ever leaks.

The situations that need extra handling — all routine for us

How long is the system down? Typically about the length of the roof job itself — commonly one to two weeks. What does it cost? Per panel, explained honestly on our cost page, quoted exactly and free the same day. Who pays — you or the roofer — is settled before scheduling either way.

Detach & Reset
★★★★★

“Everybody I dealt with was friendly and professional. I had a 30 panel solar system which they removed to have my roof replaced, had it back up and running 2 days after my roof replacement was finished.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Some try. But solar is licensed electrical work — string voltage, grounding, rapid shutdown, re-commissioning — and mishandling it can void equipment warranties and leave nobody standing behind the roof penetrations. The clean structure: your roofer warranties the roof, a licensed solar contractor warranties the solar work and the holes. That split is exactly what we exist for.
Typically the length of the roof job: detach the day before tear-off, reset within days of your final roofing inspection — commonly one to two weeks total. Some national providers quote 30+ days panels-off; that is them, not the job.
Yes, for the days the panels are down — that is unavoidable with any provider. We minimize it with tight scheduling, and because panels are cleaned at the reset, production often comes back slightly higher than before.
The leasing company owns the equipment and must authorize the work, which can add weeks if started late. We are certified with the major providers, handle the authorization and paperwork, and keep the lease warranty intact. Start the solar side early — ideally when you pick the roofer.
When the re-roof is a covered claim, the detach & reset is normally part of the scope. We document the system condition before and after and write the estimate so the adjuster can approve it. See our storm and insurance page for how the paperwork works.
Per panel, based on panel count, roof type, racking condition, storage and warranty term — exact quote free the same business day from your address, panel count and a roof photo. Our cost page explains the whole model, including the five questions to ask any other bidder.
Either works, but earlier is smoother, especially with leased systems. Many Arizona roofers already work with us and fold our line item into their proposal; if yours has not picked a solar partner, have them call (480) 270-2745 and we will take the coordination off both your plates.
