Replacing a roof with solar already installed creates two linked work scopes. Palm Beach Solar coordinates a qualified partner review for temporary panel removal, equipment handling and reinstallation across Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties, including the corridor through Sebastian and south of Sebastian Inlet.
Provide the property address, roof proposal and planned start date. Include the array's size, panel count, inverter and racking information when available. Photos, monitoring history, original drawings and the installation agreement can help establish the equipment's starting condition.
Commercial and shared-building owners should also identify facility contacts, operating restrictions, staging areas and the person authorized to approve roof and electrical work. Describe phased reroofing or occupied areas so the contractor can evaluate the access and shutdown plan.
| Scope item | Decision to document |
|---|---|
| Before removal | System condition, ownership permissions, safe shutdown and baseline monitoring. |
| Equipment handling | Inventory, labeling, transport, protected storage and custody responsibilities. |
| Roof handoff | Who confirms completion, approved attachments, flashing and roofing-warranty coordination. |
| Reinstallation | Final layout, reusable versus replacement parts, electrical work and priced changes. |
| Closeout | Inspections, utility requirements, testing, monitoring access and workmanship coverage. |
| Schedule changes | Storage extensions, return visits and who communicates a changed roof date. |
The applicable office follows the parcel. Start with the Martin County, St. Lucie County or Indian River County hub, then the relevant city or town page.
The partner should identify which permits or amendments are required for the proposed work. Equipment replacement, relocation or expansion can change the approval scope. Check the utility on the electric bill and have the contractor establish the correct return-to-service process.
Removal pricing can depend on access, roof height, array configuration, equipment condition, storage, transport and the reattachment design. Request a written price with exclusions and allowances so the roofer and solar partner use the same assumptions.
If you are also considering new panels or a battery, obtain a separate change scope. Identify original warranties and any lease or PPA permissions before equipment is moved.
Ask for the final equipment and layout record, photographs of completed work, documented electrical checks, the applicable approvals and evidence that monitoring is reporting after reinstallation. Keep those records with the new roof warranty.
For a facility with roof phases, define acceptance for each stage and identify who authorizes the next shutdown. The overall scope should show how solar work and roofing work stay coordinated until final closeout.
Request service
Tell us what is happening and where the property is. A Palm Beach Solar advisor coordinates a qualified licensed partner review. The selected partner inspects, quotes, and performs the accepted work.
Our expanded review area includes Stuart, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Sebastian and the local communities covered by the county hubs. The partner confirms each address.
Request it explicitly. The contract should define reusable equipment, new roof attachments, any replacement parts, testing and the conditions needed to accept the reinstall scope.
Agree on responsibilities with qualified contractors for the roof and solar electrical work. The scope should identify who may shut down, disconnect, handle and recommission the equipment.
Yes, an expansion can be evaluated as a separate design and price. Equipment compatibility, agreements, permits and utility requirements must be confirmed before acceptance.
The licensed service partner defines its workmanship coverage in the accepted contract. Ask how the original equipment and roof warranties apply to the work.
Review current utility, tax, and licensing requirements directly with the responsible agency before making a property or contract decision.
