Yes, at Solar Direct Canada, our professional installers will remove your solar panels when it’s time to replace your shingles. This step is necessary because the shingles under the panels protect your home from leaks and other damage. Our team will safely disconnect and store the panels while we re-roof, ensuring everything is done smoothly. Once your new shingles are installed, we’ll carefully reinstall and reconnect your solar system. Our experienced team handles the entire process to ensure that both your roof and solar investment remain in top condition. Typically, this process takes just a few days.
Shingles typically last around 20 to 30 years, but when solar panels are installed, they can actually help extend the life of the shingles underneath. The panels act as a barrier, protecting the shingles from direct sunlight, rain, and other weather elements. This protection can help reduce wear and tear on the covered portion of your roof. However, the uncovered sections of your roof will still experience normal aging.
It’s important to note that if your shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan (within 5-10 years of needing replacement), we recommend re-roofing before installing solar panels to avoid having to remove and reinstall them later.
At Solar Direct Canada, removing solar panels from a roof is a straightforward process for our experienced team. We have the right tools and training to safely disconnect the electrical components and carefully lift the panels without causing any damage to your roof or the system itself. We also handle the secure storage of the panels during the roofing work. Once the new roof is ready, we reinstall the panels with the same precision. While it’s not a DIY job due to the technical skills and safety measures required, our professionals make it efficient and hassle-free for homeowners.
At Solar Direct Canada, we always recommend removing solar panels before any major roofing work. While some roofers might try to work around solar panels, it’s not ideal. Leaving the panels in place can make it difficult for roofers to properly access all areas of the roof, potentially leading to incomplete repairs or damage to the panels. By having our team professionally remove and later reinstall your panels, roofers can do their job correctly, ensuring your roof is fully protected. This approach guarantees that both your roof and solar system remain in top condition.
