Solar Panels After Hail Damage: Inspection and Roof Replacement Steps
What to check when hail damages a roof with solar panels, including inspection, documentation, insurance, and removal planning.
Separate roof damage from solar damage
A roof may need replacement even if panels look intact. Panels may also need inspection for glass, frame, or wiring damage.
Bring in the right contractors
A roofer handles the roof assessment. A solar contractor handles solar removal, equipment review, and reinstallation.
Verify production after reinstallation
After the roof is complete and panels are reinstalled, the system should be recommissioned and checked for production.
