Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall in Tampa Bay, FL

Replacing a roof on the Gulf coast and need your solar out of the way? AllSolar Energy provides solar panel removal and reinstallation across Tampa Bay — what roofers also call detach and reattach, temporary solar panel removal, or solar R&R. We take the array down before your reroof and put it back up correctly afterward, and we’ve been doing it across Central and West Florida since 1999.

Hurricane and insurance reroofs are driving detach and reset in Tampa Bay

Between aging roofs and storm damage, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Manatee County homeowners are replacing roofs faster than ever — and many of those homes have solar. When your insurer or a wind-mitigation inspection calls for a new roof, the panels have to come off first. We uninstall the solar panels, racking, and wiring, protect the equipment, and reinstall the system once the new roof is finished and inspected.

Because we’re a licensed solar contractor, we handle the electrical disconnect and reconnect the right way, re-flash every penetration, and make sure the system comes back online producing what it should. A roofer working around a live array risks leaks, cracked modules, and a voided equipment warranty.

Salt air, tile, and older Gulf-coast roofs

Coastal Tampa Bay is hard on hardware. Salt air corrodes cheap racking and lugs, so when we reset a system we inspect the mounts and replace anything that won’t last. The Gulf coast also has a lot of tile — barrel and flat concrete tile through Pinellas, Manatee, and the older Tampa neighborhoods — which takes extra care to lift and reset without breakage. We reset tile and shingle roofs alike, and we work on the manufactured and mobile-home roofs common across Pasco County.

Cities we serve around the bay

Our remove-and-reinstall crews cover Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Plant City, and Lutz in Hillsborough; St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, and Dunedin in Pinellas; New Port Richey, Wesley Chapel, and Land O’ Lakes in Pasco; and Bradenton, Palmetto, and Lakewood Ranch in Manatee. See our Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Manatee County solar service pages for local repair details.

Solar pool heaters and hot water panels come off too

Tampa Bay has as many solar pool heaters and solar hot water collectors as it does PV arrays. Those panels also block a reroof, and most roofing crews won’t remove them. AllSolar detaches and resets solar pool heating and solar water heating systems for roof replacements, drains and recharges the loops, and checks for leaks before reactivating. Most solar companies only handle PV — we do pool heat and hot water as well.

How we work with your roofer

Call us as soon as your reroof is on the calendar. We schedule the removal right before the tear-off and return to reinstall once the new roof passes. Roofing contractors across the bay use us as their solar detach and reset partner so their crews never have to touch a live array. Homeowners can start on our main solar panel removal and reinstall page.

All brands, including orphaned systems

We reinstall every major brand — Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla, SunPower, Panasonic, Q CELLS and others — and we specialize in orphaned arrays whose installer disappeared (Titan, Pink Energy, Blue Raven and more). If your original company is gone, we’ll adopt the system, reset it, and get it running. More than 80 Florida companies refer this work to us.
