MODULE REMOVAL

& REINSTALL

PARTNER WITH PROCESS

As any roofing contractor understands all too well, solar installation removal is a lot more complicated than just taking off solar panels. The difference between a job done well (and on time) and a job that balloons budgets (and timelines) is, in a word, process. 

​

At Rural Solar Restoration, we've developed a tried and true process through years of experience removing solar installations from a wide variety of both commercial and residential structures, including the necessary steps for a successful reinstallation if that's part of the project. 

​

Some steps seem obvious, some are less so. All are designed as part of a proven process that allows us to partner with contractors for a successful solar removal and reinstallation, keeping your project on-time and on-budget.

​

HOW WE SET UP FOR REMOVAL SUCCESS

  • We diagram the existing installation to track exactly how it's installed. Even minor tweaks in reinstallation can result in needing to source new or replacement equipment, and some items once removed cannot be re-used. (This is especially common for certain flat-roof commercial solar racking solutions like Sunlink.)

  • We work closely with our contractor partners to stage materials and removal phases in the most efficient manner possible.

  • Our project managers and maintenance technicians understand how to manage timeline and procurement expectations so your project stays on schedule.

  • We always have a backup plan (and spare parts), because we know how fluid the situation can be in removals. 

  • We make sure the new solar installation is compatible with the new roofing materials. For example, new slip sheets or other items are sometimes required to prevent damage.

  • We perform thorough commissioning and QA/QC once complete to ensure everything is functioning exactly how it should. 

  • For many flat roof replacements it is also very common for additional insulation to be added to meet new code requirements. If this happens it often means conduit, wiring, and junction boxes will need to be reconfigured.
