Caddo Mills solar removal — the schedule, the warranty, the cost

Hail, hurricanes and 2005-2018-era asphalt failures have made solar removal in Caddo Mills a routine part of homeownership rather than an exception. September 2024's Hurricane Francine sideswiped Caddo Mills with sustained winds — light damage on most homes but enough to flag insurance scope on roof-mounted panels. Caddo Mills's ADU permit volume has grown Hunt County-wide, and most ADU projects on a solar-equipped lot trigger a partial panel removal. Homes in Caddo Mills that took Imelda damage often need full panel removal so the roof deck can be properly inspected and repaired underneath. We handle the Oncor disconnect and reconnect notifications directly — your net-meter agreement stays continuous through the project. Caddo Mills projects run on a tight calendar: removal day-1, secure storage, reinstall within 24-48 hours of the roofer's last shingle.

Solar in Caddo Mills: common questions

Do I need a separate solar contractor in Caddo Mills for the panel removal?

Caddo Mills roofing contractors typically refuse to handle the panels — and that's the right answer. Manufacturer warranty terms (SunPower, Q Cells, REC, Silfab, LG, Tesla) all void coverage if the array is handled by non-certified personnel — and roofers don't carry that certification. We coordinate timing directly with your roofer — most Caddo Mills projects we remove panels Monday morning, the roofer tears off and replaces all week, and we reinstall the following Monday. Total system downtime is typically 5-7 days.

Is removal a good time to add battery storage in Caddo Mills?

Yes — removal is the cheapest possible window for any panel-side upgrade in Caddo Mills. Adding battery storage during removal in Caddo Mills avoids a second permit cycle and saves 8-12 hours of duplicate labor. It's the right time to ask: "if I were going to upgrade anything in the next 5 years, would I do it now while the array is already off?" For most Caddo Mills homes the answer is yes.

How many days will my solar be down during a Caddo Mills reroof?

Removal time on Caddo Mills systems averages 4-6 hours for the typical 5-8 kW array. We schedule removal the day before tear-off and reinstallation 24-48 hours after the last shingle is down. Roofer pace dictates total Caddo Mills project length — typical 3-5 working days for tear-off and reshingle. Reinstall is 6-8 hours plus testing and Oncor reconnection filings. Oncor net-meter paperwork is part of our scope — homeowner doesn't have to call the utility once.

What Caddo Mills homeowners should know about their solar

Real, local context for keeping a solar system healthy in Caddo Mills, Hunt County.

Your utility

Oncor is the wires utility for Hunt County. Texas is deregulated, so there is no statewide net metering — your solar export credit depends on your retail electricity plan, not the utility.

Expected production

At Caddo Mills’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.

Local climate

Northeastern DFW edge in “Hail Alley” — severe spring storms bring large hail and high winds.

Permits & local notes

City of Caddo Mills is the AHJ; specific solar detail unknown. Rural Hunt County city at ~495 ft; home to Caddo Mills Municipal Airport, a former WWII-era airfield.
