What it is

What is solar R&R, and when you need it

Solar Removal & Reinstall (R&R) is exactly what it sounds like: we safely detach your existing array so work can happen underneath, then reinstall and re-commission it. Homeowners need it for a reroof, storm or roof damage, a leak under the panels, or structural repairs.

Here's the catch: the panels, the racking, the wiring, and the utility interconnection are all electrical work. A roofer can move panels; only a licensed electrician can put your system back safely, to code, and get it re-inspected.

At Heliotek, R&R is core electrical work. We're licensed electricians first, so the same crew that takes your system down puts it back: no subcontractors, no finger-pointing between trades.

When homeowners call us for R&R

  • Reroofing a home that already has solar
  • Storm, hail, or wind damage to the roof
  • A leak or rot discovered under the array
  • Structural or roof-decking repairs
  • Selling a home and need the roof addressed first

Why Heliotek

Why homeowners choose Heliotek

Most "we can move your panels" offers come from a roofer or a low-bid crew. Here's what a licensed electrical contractor does differently.

🛡️

Electricians first

Master electricians do the work, not subcontracted roofers. Every R&R is reviewed and signed off by our master electrician of record.

👷

One crew does it all

No subcontractors, no handoffs. The same licensed crew detaches your system and puts it back: rewired, re-commissioned, and reconnected.

Permitted & signed off

R&R is electrical work, so we pull the permits, schedule the inspection, and handle utility reconnection. You don't chase paperwork.

FAQ

Solar R&R, answered

Will removing my panels affect my solar warranty?
R&R done by licensed electricians and documented is designed to protect your equipment and workmanship coverage. We reinstall to manufacturer and code spec and provide documentation for your records.
Do you coordinate with my roofer?
Yes. We schedule the detach right before your roof work and the reinstall right after, so the roofer has a clear deck and you're not paying for idle time. Want one point of contact? We can include the reroof in your quote.
How long are my panels off the roof?
For a typical reroof, panels are down only for the few days the roof work takes. We store them safely on-site and reinstall as soon as the new roof is ready.
Who handles the permits and inspection?
We do, start to finish. R&R is electrical work, so it's permitted and inspected like any electrical job. Our master electrician of record signs off every project.
Does my system get turned back on properly?
Yes. We rewire, re-commission, and handle the utility reconnection so your system comes back online the way it was.
Do you serve my area?
We serve all of New England: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
