How Much Does Solar Removal and Reinstall Cost?

Solar removal and reinstall cost depends on system size, roof height, roof pitch, access, equipment condition, storage needs, travel, and how quickly the project needs to fit into the roofing schedule. A small single-story system is usually simpler than a large multi-array system on a steep roof.

The price should include more than taking panels down. A proper scope includes documenting the existing system, shutting it down safely, removing panels and racking as needed, protecting equipment during roof work, reinstalling with appropriate attachment and flashing practices, labeling, and recommissioning the system.

Insurance roof projects may include a solar remove and reinstall line item, but coverage depends on the claim and policy. Athena Solar can provide project documentation so homeowners and contractors have a clear solar scope to review.
