When it’s time for a roof replacement, one crucial step often gets overlooked — your solar panels. They must be carefully removed, stored, and reinstalled to protect both your roof and your system.
That process is called solar detach and reset, and it’s not a task just anyone should handle. It requires technical skill, electrical knowledge, and a precise understanding of roofing coordination.
At Sunaura Solar, we’ve built a reputation as trusted detach and reset specialists in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Here’s why partnering with professionals for this service protects your investment and ensures your system continues to perform at its best.
1. Protects Your Roof During Replacement
Removing solar panels isn’t as simple as unscrewing mounts. One wrong move can damage your roof, compromise flashing, or create leaks. Partnering with professionals ensures every panel is removed cleanly, leaving your roofer a safe, ready surface for their work.
2. Maintains Electrical Safety
Solar systems carry live electrical current, and improper handling can lead to serious safety risks. Certified technicians know how to disconnect, store, and reinstall your system according to code — keeping your home and team safe at every stage.
3. Prevents System Damage
Panels, wiring, and mounts can be damaged during removal if handled incorrectly. Experts use the right equipment and protective storage methods to prevent cracks, wire strain, or component failure.
4. Keeps Warranties Valid
Both your solar and roof warranties depend on professional service. Licensed technicians ensure every removal and reinstallation meets manufacturer and code standards so your warranties remain fully intact.
5. Ensures Proper Flashing Replacement
When your roof is replaced, the old flashings under your mounts should be replaced too. This step is critical for waterproofing and roof protection. Detach and reset experts coordinate with your roofer to install new flashings that align with your solar mounts perfectly.
6. Guarantees System Performance After Reinstall
After the new roof is installed, the panels need to be realigned and tested before going back online. A professional reinstallation includes performance testing, inverter checks, and verification that your system is producing at its expected level.
7. Simplifies Coordination Between Roofing and Solar Crews
When roofing and solar teams don’t communicate, delays and errors can happen. Working with a company that handles both the electrical and coordination aspects saves time, reduces confusion, and ensures a smoother project from start to finish.
8. Provides Full Inspection and Cleaning
Detach and reset services are a perfect opportunity to clean your panels and inspect for wear or damage. Most homeowners notice improved performance after reinstalling because the panels are cleaned and the wiring is refreshed.
9. Prevents Post-Roofing Complications
Improper reinstallation can lead to leaks, loose wiring, or underperforming systems. Experts verify every mount, seal, and electrical connection to ensure the system works safely and efficiently once the roof is complete.
10. Saves You Time and Stress
Coordinating roofers, electricians, and solar technicians separately can be stressful. Partnering with a dedicated detach and reset team streamlines the process so you can focus on your home, not project logistics.
