Solar Removal and Re Installation by Professionals

It’s no secret that solar panel removal and re installation is a very difficult and tedious process.

The company you choose has to have years of experience in dealing with:

Many types of Solar Panel Manufacturers
The ability to navigate different pitched roofs
and the electrical experience to both disconnect and reconnect the operational panel

Here at GenSun Roofing and Solar, we can perform all necessary functions with in one day so you are not with out energy for a long period of time.

Why You Can’t Just “Take the Panels Off”

Solar panels and roofing are two different trades, and most companies only do one or the other. That gap creates real problems for homeowners who need both done at once. Panels have to be safely disconnected, removed, and stored before roofing work starts, and then reinstalled and reconnected afterward — a process that carries genuine risk when it isn’t handled by people who do it regularly.

Three Risks Homeowners Don’t Expect

Electrical hazards. Solar panels are live electrical systems. Improper shutdown procedures during removal can create fire risk or damage the inverter.
Warranty voids. Most solar manufacturer warranties require certified removal and reinstallation — using the wrong crew can quietly void coverage homeowners are counting on.
Two-contractor gaps. When a roofer and a solar company are separate businesses, homeowners get stuck coordinating both, often with panels sitting disconnected for weeks in between.

The Safe Removal & Reconnection Process

A properly managed job follows a specific sequence, regardless of who does the work:

System Shutdown. The solar system is safely powered down at both the DC (panel) and AC (inverter/grid-tie) level before any panel is touched.
Careful Panel Removal. Panels are unbolted, labeled, and stored so each one returns to its exact original position — important for both wiring and warranty.
Racking & Roof Prep. Mounting hardware is removed, roof penetrations are properly flashed and sealed, and the new roofing system goes down underneath.
Panels and racking are remounted in their original layout, to code, on the new roof.
Guaranteed Reconnection. The system is reconnected, tested, and verified to be producing power — with utility interconnection confirmed before the crew leaves.
