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?

We strongly recommend against it. Improper removal can cause damage to both your roof and your solar system.

Do you work with insurance?

Yes. We help guide you through the insurance process and provide the documentation needed.

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 West Park

West Park is the smallest city in this group, about 15,400 people in ZIP 33023, built around neighborhoods like Carver Ranches on the southern edge of Broward County. The lots are modest and close together, and the roofs on them reach replacement age the same way they do everywhere in South Florida. When there are panels on one, the reroof stops until somebody takes the array down.

A large share of these jobs involve systems nobody owns anymore. The installer folded or left the state, the monitoring login belongs to a company that no longer exists, and the homeowner has a folder with a sales sheet and no as-built drawing. That is workable. The array carries its own documentation: module labels, inverter nameplate, and the racking maker stamped into the rail.

Small lots change the logistics more than people expect. There is a dumpster, a roofing crew, a driveway and a side yard three feet wide, and somewhere in all that a couple dozen modules have to be carried down, stored, and carried back up without being set on their glass. Where they go and who has the driveway on which day is decided in advance.

FPL serves the address and credits exports at the retail rate. Permits for a removal and reinstall are pulled through the authority that covers the address, which is worth confirming before the tear-off, since smaller Broward municipalities do not all handle building services the same way. The work is scheduled around the roofer and covered from Orlando and Tampa on a set date.

What We Check

On a West Park removal we get these right

An orphaned system still has its papersModule labels, the inverter nameplate and the stamp on the racking identify everything needed to reinstall correctly, even when the installer is gone and no as-built exists. Those get photographed and written down during removal, which turns an undocumented system into a documented one at no extra cost.

Monitoring usually has to be rebuiltWhen the original company closed, the monitoring portal was often registered under their account rather than yours. After reinstall the inverter has to be reconnected to the home network and the portal claimed in your name. Confirm production data is visible before the crew leaves, not a month later.

A narrow lot needs a plan, not improvisationBetween a dumpster, a roofing crew and a three-foot side yard there is not much room to carry glass. The path down, the storage spot and the driveway schedule get agreed before removal day. Most modules broken on these jobs are broken on the ground, not on the roof.

Upright, indoors, with separatorsModules go on edge with spacers between them, in a garage or secured interior space, together with the inverter and shutdown gear. Flat on concrete, stacked face to face, or leaned against a wall under a tarp are the three positions that produce cracks nobody can see.

New roof, new flashingsReinstall penetrations land in rafters, get sealed, and are flashed under the shingle course above them. Reusing old flashings on a new roof, or setting new ones on top of the course, is the leak that appears in the first heavy rain and then belongs to whoever installed it.

Confirm who signs the final inspectionA removal and reinstall generally needs a permit and an electrical reinspection, and in the smaller Broward municipalities it is worth confirming which office actually issues and inspects it. Ask before the tear-off. A finished roof and a permit nobody can close is an avoidable problem.

FAQ

Solar service in West Park — common questions

My solar company is out of business. Who reinstalls my panels?

Any qualified solar contractor can, and orphaned systems are a normal part of this work. The array is documented as found from the module labels, inverter nameplate and racking markings, then reinstalled to current code. The one thing that usually needs rebuilding is monitoring, since the old portal was tied to the closed company.

Will I lose my production history?

Often yes, if the monitoring account belonged to the installer. The data lived in their portal under their credentials. After reinstall the inverter is reconnected and the portal is set up in your name, which starts a new history. Your utility bills remain the record of what the system did before.

Where will the panels be stored?

Usually your garage, standing on edge with separators, along with the inverter and shutdown hardware. On tight lots that space is limited, so it is confirmed before removal day rather than solved that morning. What is not acceptable is flat on a driveway, stacked bare, or left outside under a tarp for weeks.

Do I need a permit in West Park?

A removal and reinstall in Florida generally requires one, separate from the roofing permit, along with an electrical reinspection afterward. Which office issues and inspects it is worth confirming for your specific address before the tear-off, since smaller Broward municipalities handle building services in different ways.

Is it cheaper to just leave the old panels off?

It is cheaper on the day and expensive afterward, because the system stops producing and the equipment loses value sitting in a garage. If you are considering it, get the reinstall quoted alongside the removal so the comparison is real, and decide before the array comes down rather than after.
