What Happens to My Solar Panels If I Need a New Roof?
Getting a new roof doesn’t mean your solar dreams are on hold. At Sundog Solar, we handle the process smoothly so you stay stress-free.
Panels Can Be Temporarily Removed (Remove and Reset or Remove and Replace)
When it’s time to replace or repair your roof, the Sundog Solar team can carefully unmount and store your solar panels. Once the roof work is finished, we’ll reinstall them—ensuring everything is sealed, secure, and warrantied.
Why Roof Condition Matters from Day One
We generally check your roof’s age and condition before installing. If it’s near the end of its lifespan, we’ll recommend replacing or reinforcing it first, saving you from tackling two big projects back-to-back. This approach is often more cost-effective in the long run.
Battery Benefits During the Process
If you’re temporarily without active panels, but you have our built-in battery, you can still tap into stored energy for a short time—reducing your dependence on the grid until installation is back up and running. It’s one more way Sundog Solar keeps things simple.
