Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall in Central Florida

Solar panel removal and reinstallation is exactly what it sounds like: we take your rooftop solar system down, and once the work underneath is finished, we put it back up and turn it back on. You’ll hear it called a lot of things — detach and reset, remove and reinstall, solar R&R, detach and reattach, lift and reset, or temporary solar panel removal — but it’s the same job, and AllSolar Energy has done it on thousands of Central Florida roofs since 1999.

When do you need solar panels removed and reinstalled?

The most common reason is a roof replacement. A roofer can’t install a new roof underneath a solar array, so the panels, racking, and wiring have to come off first — that’s solar panel removal for a reroof. Other reasons include roof repairs after a storm, insurance- or wind-mitigation-required roof replacements, relocating an array to a better section of roof, or taking a system down before selling or demolishing a home. In every case, the electrical work should be handled by a licensed solar contractor, not a roofing crew.

We coordinate the detach and reset with your roofer

Timing is everything. We schedule the removal right before your roofer’s tear-off and come back to reinstall once the new roof is on and inspected, so your system is only offline as long as it needs to be. If you’re a roofing contractor looking for a dependable solar partner, see our roofers page — more than 80 companies across Florida already hand this work to us.

Not just panels — solar pool heaters and hot water systems too

Many Florida homes don’t have electric panels on the roof at all. They have solar pool heating panels or a solar hot water collector, and those block a reroof just the same. Most roofers won’t remove them, and most solar companies won’t service them. AllSolar removes and reinstalls solar pool heaters and solar water heating systems for roof replacements, drains and recharges the loops, and pressure-checks for leaks before turning them back on. We handle all three: PV, pool heat, and hot water. Learn more on our solar pool heater removal & reinstall page.

All brands — including orphaned and abandoned systems

We reinstall every major brand — Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla, SunPower, Panasonic, Q CELLS and more. We also specialize in orphaned systems: arrays whose original installer went out of business, like Titan, Pink Energy, and Blue Raven. If your installer is gone and no one else will touch your system, we will.

What affects the cost of solar panel removal and reinstall?

There’s no single flat price, because every system and roof is different. The biggest factors are:

• System size and panel count — more panels means more labor to remove and reset.
• Roof type — tile roofs cost more than shingle because the tile must be removed and reset without cracking.
• Racking and hardware condition — corroded or outdated mounts that need replacing add to the job.
• PV vs. pool heat vs. hot water — each type is priced differently.
• Electrical code updates — older systems sometimes need code-required upgrades when they go back up.
• Roof height and access — steep or hard-to-reach roofs take longer.
