The Service

What is
detach & reset?

Detach and reset involves carefully removing solar panels from a building's roof so other work can proceed, then reinstalling them once it's complete. Our technicians safely remove each panel, store them properly, and reset every one after the roofing work is done. Common reasons include:

  • Leak repair
  • Reroofing
  • Roof upgrades
  • Solar upgrades
  • Weather damage
  • Roof inspections
  • Structural changes to the building

How It Works

Our detach & reset process.

1

In-person consultation and evaluation of the site and the work to be performed, so there are no surprises on the day.

2

We remove all solar panels and components in the work area, then inspect, adjust, and clean them while your roofer works.

3

Once the roofing work is complete, we reset the panels and run a thorough test to ensure everything is working correctly.

Taking the array off and putting it back can be a change your utility wants to know about before it runs in parallel again. Solar interconnection in South Carolina.

Frequently Asked Questions

Detach & reset,
plainly explained.

Can my roofer just take the solar panels off?

We do not recommend it. We handle the solar work; your roofer handles the roof.

Will detach and reset void my solar warranty?

Detail Solar gives a 25-year roof penetration warranty and a 5-year labor warranty on every system Detail Solar installs, including detach-and-reset reinstalls, even when another company did the original install.

Does insurance cover detach and reset after a storm?

Often the solar removal and reinstall can be a line item on a roof claim. Ask your adjuster. We can document the solar portion. We do not quote a price on this page.

When should I call you relative to the roofer?

As soon as you have a roofing estimate. Panels must come off before tear-off. Calling after the roofing crew is booked is the usual scheduling mistake.

Do you detach systems you did not install?

Yes. Orphaned arrays and other companies’ systems are a normal detach job for us.
