Burleson Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall — Coordinated With Your Roofer
Removal, secure storage, and reinstallation for Burleson homeowners replacing roofs or upgrading systems.
What Burleson homeowners face when reroofing with solar installed
ZIP 76028 and the rest of Burleson sit inside the Johnson County insurance map where roof claims have averaged 1.5 approved replacements per year. Climate-zone trends in subtropical-DFW mean roof damage events keep accelerating, and removal/reinstall demand follows. If your Burleson roof is over 18 years old and panels are bolted to it, you're already past the optimal point for proactive removal. If you're adding a second story or an attached ADU on top of an existing Burleson roof with solar, the panels in the impacted area have to come off before structural work begins. We handle the Oncor disconnect and reconnect notifications directly — your net-meter agreement stays continuous through the project. Our team coordinates the Burleson schedule with your roofer, handles secure storage at our DeSoto facility, and reinstalls within 24-48 hours of the new roof completing.
Solar in Burleson: common questions
Why can't my Burleson roofer remove my panels themselves?
Reputable Burleson roofers refuse to touch solar panels. Roofing contractors aren't licensed to disconnect electrical equipment in Texas, and panel manufacturer warranties (SunPower, Q Cells, REC, Silfab and others) explicitly void coverage if non-certified personnel handle them. Our team coordinates with your roofer's schedule — removal day-before tear-off, reinstall 24-48 hours after the last shingle is down. End-to-end project length in Burleson is usually 5-7 working days.
Is removal a good time to add battery storage in Burleson?
Yes — removal is the cheapest possible window for any panel-side upgrade in Burleson. Microinverter swaps (Enphase IQ7 → IQ8, or string-inverter retrofits to Enphase) are easiest during removal — the labor that's most expensive is already covered. Re-pulling wires through the racking while the panels are off adds zero incremental cost.
How many days will my solar be down during a Burleson reroof?
We complete most Burleson removals in 4-6 hours of on-site work. Reinstallation: 6-8 hours including testing and Oncor reconnection paperwork. Schedule on our side: removal one day before tear-off, reinstall within 24-48 hours of last shingle. Most Burleson reroof projects run 3-5 working days for the roofer; we book panels-off the day before and panels-back-on 24-48 hours after the last shingle is laid. Disconnect and reconnect notices to Oncor are filed by our team; the interconnection agreement carries through the project.
What Burleson homeowners should know about their solar
Real, local context for keeping a solar system healthy in Burleson, Johnson County.
Oncor is the wires utility for Johnson County. Texas is deregulated, so there is no statewide net metering — your solar export credit depends on your retail electricity plan, not the utility.
At Burleson’s ~4.9 peak sun hours, a typical 7 kW system produces roughly 10,000 kWh/year. If yours is running well below that, it’s worth a service check.
On the southern edge of North Texas “Hail Alley,” the Johnson/Tarrant area sees frequent spring hail and severe thunderstorms.
Burleson permits solar through Building Permits & Inspections (817-426-9632); some parcels route between city and county. Burleson is the largest city in Johnson County (though Cleburne is the seat) at a high ~725 ft elevation.
