If you’re replacing your roof and already have solar panels installed, one question always comes up: What happens to the panels?
That’s where solar detach and reset services come in. This process allows professionals to safely remove your panels, protect them during roofing work, and reinstall them once your new roof is ready — all while maintaining performance and warranty coverage.
At Sunaura Solar, we specialize in roof-ready, code-compliant solar panel detach and reset services that protect your system, your roof, and your investment. Here’s exactly how the process works and what homeowners can expect.
1. Initial Inspection and System Evaluation
Every successful detach and reset starts with a thorough system evaluation.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We inspect your panels, inverters, mounts, and wiring to identify potential concerns before removal. Our goal is to plan a smooth, damage-free process that keeps your solar system fully intact.
2. Coordinating with Your Roofing Contractor
Solar and roofing projects must work in sync for efficiency and safety.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We coordinate directly with your roofer to ensure proper timing — removing panels just before roof replacement and reinstalling them immediately afterward.
3. Safe Solar Panel Removal
Panel removal requires expertise to prevent electrical and roof damage.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
Our licensed electricians disconnect all wiring, unmount panels carefully, and store them securely in a clean, shaded area until reinstallation.
4. Protecting Electrical Components
Exposed wiring and connectors must be properly sealed during roof work.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We cap and label all electrical connections to prevent corrosion or confusion, ensuring a fast and accurate reinstallation later.
5. Roof Preparation and Inspection
Before reinstalling the panels, your new roof needs a clean, solid, and properly flashed surface.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We verify the roof’s readiness with your contractor, checking all flashing and structural integrity to guarantee long-term waterproof protection.
6. Reinstallation with Updated Hardware (if needed)
Older mounting equipment may need replacement when installing on a new roof.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We install fresh flashings and bolts if necessary, using code-compliant hardware designed to integrate perfectly with your new roofing materials.
7. Panel Reattachment and Wiring Verification
Once the roof is complete, panels are carefully reattached in their original layout.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We reconnect wiring, secure mounts, and verify that every connection is tight, clean, and weather-protected.
8. System Testing and Commissioning
After reinstalling the system, it’s critical to confirm everything works exactly as before — or better.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We test each string and inverter, verify grounding, and confirm your monitoring app is logging data accurately before final sign-off.
9. Performance Verification
Your solar system should return to its previous energy output once reset.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We run real-time performance tests to confirm proper voltage and power generation, ensuring your system is fully operational and efficient.
10. Documentation for Warranty and Insurance
Proper paperwork protects your system’s warranty and supports insurance claims if applicable.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We provide detailed reports documenting removal, storage, and reinstallation — all meeting manufacturer and code requirements.
