Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall for a Reroof
When a roof under solar panels needs replacing, the panels come off first and go back on after, a licensed solar job, not a roofing add-on.

Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall for a Reroof FAQ
How much does it cost to remove and reinstall solar panels?
Typically $1,550–$6,750 in 2026, scaling with system size. A small array sits at the low end; large or complex systems with new racking sit at the top. It's priced as its own job, separate from the roofing work.
Can my roofer just remove the panels?
No, removal and reinstall should be done by a solar pro. The wiring, rapid-shutdown equipment, and racking need to be de-energized, handled, and recommissioned correctly, and DIY removal can void panel and workmanship warranties.
Should I replace the racking while the panels are off?
Often yes. With the array already down, new flashing and mounts add modest cost and reset the weakest waterproofing points on the roof. Your solar pro will inspect the existing racking and price both paths.
