If you need to replace the roof on your home and you have solar panels installed, there are a few important things to consider.
First, it is important to hire a reputable contractor who has experience working with solar panels. They will be able to safely remove and reinstall the panels during the roof replacement process. Roofing contractors should consider consulting with an experienced detach and reset company, such as BuiltMx founders of www.deatchmysolar.com , regardless of whether they have experience with detach and resets or not. There are licensing requirements that roofers do not have to properly detach and reset these systems.
Working with a company like Builtmx will ensure that the manufacturer warranty is respected during the solar detach and reset.
Please know that PV solar panels live on roofs all year long, in the elements and are made to survive. Most PV solar panels will survive a storm that a shingle, tile or metal roof does not.
With this being said, it is acceptable for panels to be stored on the property or yard while the roof replacement is happening. If this stresses you just simply ask for our detach and reset team to store them in a garage, which is not a problem for us to do.
There is a 3rd option, for an up-charge we can take panels off site during the re-roof project and store them at a storage unit. When you’re ready to consult with an experienced solar detach and reset contact BuiltMX today.
