Getting a new roof is one of the best ways to protect your home — but it’s also one of the most critical times for your solar system.
When your panels are removed and reinstalled for roofing work, even small alignment changes or loose connections can affect performance. That’s why solar maintenance after roof replacement isn’t optional — it’s essential.
At Sunaura Solar, we specialize in post-roof maintenance, inspection, and reinstallation services that keep your system safe, efficient, and warranty-compliant. Here’s why this step matters more than most homeowners realize.
1. Confirms Proper Panel Reinstallation
During roof replacement, solar panels are typically detached and reattached. Even with careful handling, misalignment or improper wiring can occur.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We verify each panel’s angle, mount position, and electrical connections, ensuring your system produces power as efficiently as before — or better.
2. Protects Against Roof Leaks
If panels or mounts aren’t resealed correctly after roofing, water can seep through and damage both your roof and your electrical system.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We inspect all flashings, seals, and mounts, applying high-grade weatherproof materials to maintain full roof integrity.
3. Verifies System Wiring and Connections
Wiring beneath the panels can shift or loosen during roofing work.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We test every circuit, connection, and junction box to ensure proper grounding and consistent voltage flow before system restart.
4. Checks Inverter Communication and Output
When panels are temporarily disconnected, inverter settings may reset or stop reporting data correctly.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We confirm inverter communication, update firmware if needed, and verify accurate production tracking through your monitoring system.
5. Identifies Hidden Damage from Removal
Even the most careful roofing work can create small cracks or stress points on panels.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We perform visual and electrical testing to detect micro-cracks, discoloration, or potential hot spots that could affect future efficiency.
6. Ensures Proper Flashing Replacement
Old or damaged flashings can compromise roof protection and system safety.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We inspect and replace worn flashings to maintain waterproof seals and ensure code-compliant mounting.
7. Restores System Efficiency
After roofing, it’s common for systems to run below capacity if panels aren’t perfectly realigned.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We use precision alignment tools to optimize panel tilt and direction, maximizing sun exposure and performance.
8. Maintains Manufacturer and Roof Warranties
Skipping post-roof solar maintenance can void warranties from both the panel manufacturer and the roofer.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We document all work performed, providing inspection reports that preserve your coverage and peace of mind.
9. Prepares Your System for Storm Season
A newly roofed home deserves a strong, reliable solar system to match.
Sunaura Solar’s Approach:
We reinforce mounts, inspect electrical seals, and confirm that your system is ready for Texas weather conditions.
