Garland solar removal — the schedule, the warranty, the cost
Garland homeowners adding a room, ADU or second-story renovation often hit the same blocker: the existing solar array has to come off before any roof penetration. Many Garland customers use the removal window to upgrade from older 250-280W panels to current 400-440W high-efficiency modules. We design the Garland removal schedule to minimize production-gap days — most projects see panels back online within 7 working days of removal. Garland insurance carriers paid out the highest rate of roof claims in Dallas County during the 2023 hail season. Garland Power & Light's muni structure makes reconnection in Garland fast — typically 24-72 hours post-inspection. We coordinate directly with your Garland roofing contractor, schedule removal 1 day before tear-off, store panels at our DeSoto facility, and reinstall within 24-48 hours of new shingles being down.
Solar in Garland: common questions
Should I let my Garland roofing contractor handle my solar?
No reputable Garland roofer will touch them. Roofers can't legally disconnect the panels (Texas electrical code) and shouldn't physically handle them (manufacturer warranty terms). Typical Garland schedule: panels off Monday, roofer works Tuesday-Friday, panels back on the following Monday — total downtime 5-7 days. Most Garland projects clear in 5-7 days from start to re-energization.
Should I upgrade my system during removal in Garland?
Yes — removal is the cheapest possible window for any panel-side upgrade in Garland. If your panels are 8+ years old, removal is the cheapest possible time to add a battery (Enphase IQ or Tesla Powerwall), upgrade to higher-efficiency panels, or replace failing microinverters. Many Garland customers use the removal window to add battery storage, swap to higher-efficiency panels, or upgrade microinverters — the labor savings can be 30-50% vs. doing it as a separate project.
How long does panel removal take in Garland?
Standard Garland removal is 4-6 hours; reinstall is 6-8 hours including testing. Reinstallation: 6-8 hours including testing and GP&L reconnection paperwork. We schedule removal the day before tear-off and reinstallation 24-48 hours after the last shingle is down. Total project window depends on your roofer — most Garland roof replacements take 3-5 working days. We handle the GP&L net-meter / interconnection disconnect and reconnect notifications on your behalf.
