How long does it take?

Most removal and reinstallation timelines depend on your roofing schedule, but we coordinate everything to keep the process as fast and smooth as possible.

What happens after removal?

Your panels are safely stored until your roof work is completed, then we reinstall and test your system.

Will my roof be damaged?

No. Our process is designed to protect your roof and prevent leaks, and all work is handled by trained professionals.

Can I remove panels myself?

Can I upgrade my system during reinstall?

In many cases, yes. We can evaluate upgrade options when reinstalling your system.

Removal & Reinstall

Panel removal and reinstall in Rockledge

Rockledge Drive is the reason people know the town: a scenic road on the bluffs above the Indian River Lagoon, with about 31,000 residents living behind it in 32955 and 32926. The address is Brevard County, but the Atlantic is not next door. Between Rockledge and the ocean sit the lagoon, Merritt Island and the Banana River, which is three separate crossings of water.

That geography puts Rockledge in a middle band. It is not oceanfront, where salt strips hardware, and it is not truly inland either, because the lagoon is tidal and the air off it carries moisture and some salt. In practice a removal here means looking hard at grounding lugs, clamp feet and connector housings without assuming beachfront levels of damage.

The call still starts with the roof. A tear-off date is set, the roofing contractor makes clear that live PV is not their trade, and the company that installed the array has moved on or closed. What is needed is a crew that will take the array down safely, keep it intact through the reroof, and put it back so the roof and the system both stay covered.

FPL serves the address and credits exports at the retail rate, and the city publishes its own utility information with FPL's local contact. Permits run through the City of Rockledge or Brevard County depending on the address, with an electrical reinspection at the end. It is scheduled work, planned around the roofer's dates and covered from Orlando on a booked window.

What We Check

On a Rockledge removal we get these right

Lagoon air is not ocean air, but it is not nothingThe Indian River Lagoon is tidal, so hardware here sees more moisture and salt than a house in Lake County and less than one on the beach. Inspect grounding lugs, clamp feet and connector housings during removal, replace what is pitted, and skip the wholesale hardware swap a beachfront roof needs.

The gap between the two visitsThe solar side is two appointments: removal the day before tear-off, reinstall after the roof passes inspection. Everything between belongs to the roofer. Booking both dates when you book the roof is what keeps the array in a garage for one week instead of five.

Photograph the array before it movesLayout, string routing, conduit runs and label plates all get documented before the first clamp is loosened. On an orphaned system that record is often the only documentation in existence, and it is what the reinstall, the inspector and the next technician all end up working from.

Mounts land in raftersRacking attaches to structure, not to sheathing. New penetrations are laid out over rafters, sealed, and flashed under the course above so the water path runs over the flashing. A lag that grabs only plywood holds fine on a calm day and is the first thing to move in a storm.

Torque, recordedClamps and lags carry specified torque values from the racking manufacturer. Under-torqued clamps let modules shift and over-torqued ones crush frames. Recording the values at reinstall gives you something concrete to hand an inspector or a warranty claim, instead of an assurance that it felt about right.

Three warranties, none of them covering everythingModules, inverter and roof are covered separately, by separate companies, with separate views on third-party work. The reinstall documentation, including parts replaced and torque values, is what a warranty department asks for. Keep it with the roofing paperwork rather than buried in an email thread.

FAQ

Solar service in Rockledge — common questions

Is Rockledge a coastal location as far as solar hardware is concerned?

It sits about five miles from the Atlantic with the Indian River Lagoon, Merritt Island and the Banana River in between. The lagoon is tidal, so there is salt in the air, but not at oceanfront levels. In practice that means inspecting mounting hardware carefully during a removal rather than planning to replace all of it.

Do I need a permit to remove and reinstall my panels?

Generally yes, and it is separate from the roof permit. It is issued by the City of Rockledge or by Brevard County depending on whether the address is inside city limits, and it carries an electrical reinspection after the array is back. The permit is not closed until that inspection is signed.

What happens with FPL while my system is down?

Nothing gets canceled. Production stops for the weeks the array is off, so the bill reflects normal usage. The interconnection stays with the address, and as long as the system goes back the same size and layout it was approved as, restoring service is straightforward. Changes to the array are what trigger new paperwork.

Can you reinstall a system another company installed?

Yes, and it is most of this work. The array is documented as found, modules and inverter are identified from their labels, and the reinstall follows current code and the racking manufacturer's specifications rather than whatever shortcuts were there before. Missing documentation slows down the first hour, not the job.

How do I know the reinstall was done properly?

Ask for four things: the closed permit with its electrical reinspection, torque values from the reinstall, photographs of the new flashings taken before the modules went back on, and production data by string in the first week. Those four are the difference between a claim you can prove and one you cannot.
