Solar panels must be handled carefully to prevent damage to your system and roof. Untrained roofers and general contractors often lack the expertise to handle solar components properly, which can lead to damage and additional expenses. Safety is an even greater concern when the time comes to reinstall and repower the system after your roof work.
At Sunwell Solar, we see the remove and reinstall process as an opportunity to check the health of your system, and we perform repairs such as replacing damaged wires as we reinstall. We treat your solar system as though it were our own, ensuring your system works as well if not better than it did before your roof work.
Sunwell Solar is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and is a CSLB-licensed solar contractor (License #1102879). We are a certified installer for several brands including Enphase, Tesla, SPAN, Franklin WH, QCELLS, and REC.
We make the solar remove and reinstall process smooth, safe, and hassle-free:
The cost of a solar remove and reinstall project depends on several factors, such as the system size, complexity, and roof type.
Our starting pricing for panel removal and reinstallation is shown on our scale chart. The numbers on the left represent the number of solar panels in the system. The numbers on the right represent the starting price.
Removal and reinstall projects are the ideal time to change the layout for the system. Often, by changing the configuration of the panels, we can minimize the number of roof penetrations required for the system, reducing the risk of damage to your home. We add an additional $1500 for layout changes due to the extra time and labor involved.
We use high-quality roof attachments when installing our systems. If your current attachments don’t meet our standards, we will insist on upgrading to better materials. This typically costs $30 per attachment.
As the solar movement matures, more homeowners are encountering the issue of roof repairs or replacements with a solar array. Here are a few images of Sunwell Solar remove and reinstall projects.
A removal and reinstallation project is the perfect time to expand your solar capacity and take advantage of federal tax incentives. We offer a strategic approach that allows you to upgrade your system while keeping your costs lower through available tax credits.
When we remove and reinstall your solar panels, you have the option to add 1kW of new solar capacity to your system. Here’s the advantage:
What You Pay After Tax SavingsWith the 30% solar tax credit, your final out-of-pocket cost is only $7,000 for a complete 12-panel removal, reinstallation, and 1 kW system expansion. |

For legacy solar customers who wish to add more than 1kW, we offer a Non-Export Expansion option. With this approach:

| Another way we can expand your system during a remove and reinstall is incorporating a battery. We can add grid-tied or backup battery capacity during any system expansion or simply as part of a basic removal and reinstall project. |

Overall a great experience. The install of the panels and the IQ combiner box looks as if they were part of the house. The enphase app is user friendly. I highly recommend Sunwell Solar Company.
Responsive communication. Easy to work with. Many years of knowledge and experience in the solar industry. Professional installation. Highly recommended.
The Sunwell Solar team did an amazing job setting up our home solar system. Friendly, courteous, and professional at every step from the initial site survey, to planning, and install. Clear and prompt communication throughout and addressed all of our concerns. We participated in the Solar Equity Program which required a lot of extra paperwork and forms and Sunwell was very organized and made it a breeze. We had an 18 panel system installed with a 225A main service panel upgrade. 5/5 amazing service! Will be using this company again in the future when we install a home battery backup and electric car charger.

We’re happy to answer your questions about the solar panel removal and reinstallation process.
Yes! We ensure your system is fully restored and tested for optimal performance.
Costs depend on factors such as system size, complexity, and roof type. Keep in mind that by working with a professional, you are avoiding the unexpected costs of damage or improper installation.
Simply put, most roofers are not trained in properly handling solar systems. Using a certified solar company like Sunwell Solar prevents damage and warranty issues.
Improper handling can void warranties. We follow manufacturer guidelines to keep your warranties intact.
We work with your roofer so that we do not void your roof warranty. The key to our process is that we install the solar equipment attachments before they put on the new roof, so we’re not putting holes into the new roofing material. Our process allows the roofer to flash the roof properly so that they can guarantee their work.
Absolutely! We can provide expansion options such as a small 1kW expansion that doesn’t affect your NEM or a larger non-export expansion.
Yes. A solar removal and reinstall provides opportunities to improve the system and upgrade its components.
Yes. The exposed roof makes it easier for us to add additional connections such as batteries during an R&R.
Most projects take 1-3 days, but the time depends on your roof’s condition and system size. We can provide a clear timeline when we see your system.
