Replacing your roof? Plan your solar panel removal first.

Panels may need to be moved to access the affected roof area. The leak source, roof condition, attachments, flashing, racking, and electrical scope should be coordinated by qualified professionals before removal or repair work begins.

A partner can review the loan, lease, PPA, ownership, warranty, monitoring, and interconnection documents and help identify the appropriate transfer, payoff, removal, relocation, or service path. The agreement controls what is permitted.

Commercial, warehouse, multifamily, and HOA projects are reviewed case by case. Roof access, facility operations, equipment scale, storage, insurance, permits, utility requirements, tenant scheduling, and production planning affect whether and how the work can be coordinated.

Large commercial, multifamily, warehouse, institutional, and portfolio requests may be evaluated statewide in Florida. Availability depends on the property, system scale and condition, roof scope, jurisdiction, serving utility, partner capacity, safety requirements, agreements, and the ability to define a workable project plan before mobilization.

Start with each site address, property type, roof scope and timing, system age and equipment inventory if available, monitoring access, as-builts, interconnection and warranty records, ownership or financing documents, facility contacts, operational constraints, tenant or stakeholder requirements, access and staging information, and current permits or roof reports. The qualified partner will identify any additional engineering, utility, or jurisdiction-specific documentation.

For FPL-served properties, FPL’s current guidelines state that the AC rating determines the tier: Tier 1 is up to 10 kW, Tier 2 is above 10 kW through 100 kW, and Tier 3 is above 100 kW through 2,000 kW. Tier 2 and Tier 3 systems have additional published requirements. Confirm the live FPL agreement, service capacity, application, permit, inspection, meter, disconnect, insurance, and return-to-service requirements for the site before work begins.

That depends on the site’s electrical design, the utility requirements, and the approved work plan. FPL’s published guidance says operation other than testing and inspection is prohibited before its new bi-directional meter is installed for an interconnection. The qualified electrical and solar partners must define the safe shutdown, isolation, testing, and return-to-service sequence for the particular property.

Possibly. An expansion may require a separate review of inverter capacity, roof space, electrical service, racking, monitoring, utility requirements, permits, warranties, and the original agreement. Additional panels are not automatically included in removal or reinstallation.

Often this is evaluated as a reinstallation project, but it is not automatic. The partner must confirm that the panels, inverter, racking, wiring, roof attachments, and interconnection remain suitable and compliant after the work.

Pricing depends on system size, roof height and access, equipment and racking, storage, electrical work, permits, roof or facility timing, travel, system scale, and damaged components. A partner review is required for a property-specific scope.

It can affect manufacturer warranties, workmanship coverage, leases, PPAs, loans, monitoring, and interconnection records depending on the contract. Review your agreements and obtain written guidance before scheduling work.

Removal and reinstallation requests are reviewed across Palm Beach, Broward, and Martin counties, including West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Deerfield Beach, and Stuart. Availability depends on the property and project scope.

It's usually still workable. Removal and reinstallation is reviewed case by case and doesn't depend on the original installer. A qualified service partner inspects the system, reviews the equipment and documentation, and confirms the scope before anything is scheduled.

The solar scope is separate from the roofer's work and is handled by a licensed solar service partner: panels are removed before roof work, stored, and reinstalled afterward. Your roofer coordinates access and sequencing so the roof isn't blocked.
