Solar Removal/Replacement

Thomas from Hamilton Square, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2024. The array came off in March and went back on in April: 13 panels and their mounting system removed, then reinstalled on new flashing once the roof beneath them had been dealt with. New flashing on the way back is the part that matters. The old flashing has spent years being weathered around bolts that are about to be pulled out of it, and reusing it would put a new roof under old seals – which is the one thing a reroof under […]

David from Berkeley Heights, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since January of 2021. The job was a removal, completed on 30 January: 25 panels taken off the roof along with the mounting system, the inverters, the disconnects, the exterior conduit and wiring and the meters, all removed and disposed of. The flashing and lag bolts were deliberately left in place for the roofer to take out, and the rooftop electrical runs were disconnected rather than cut. Leaving the bolts is the safer sequence rather than an omission: every one drawn out of a deck is a

Cindy from South Plainfield, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2024. The job was a removal: 37 panels totalling 8.33 kW taken off the roof along with the mounting system, the inverters, the disconnects, the exterior conduit and wiring and the meters, all removed and disposed of, completed on 27 August. The flashing and lag bolts were deliberately left in place for the roofer to take out, and the rooftop electrical runs were disconnected rather than cut. Leaving the bolts is the safer sequence rather than an omission: every one drawn out of a

Susan from Bridgewater, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2024. The job was a removal: 46 panels totalling 10.35 kW taken off the roof, along with the mounting system, the inverters, the disconnects, the exterior conduit and wiring and the meters, all removed and disposed of, completed on 29 May. The flashing and lag bolts were deliberately left in place for the roofer to take out. That is not an oversight but the safer sequence – every bolt drawn out of a deck is a hole that has to be sealed, so leaving them

Veronica from Whitehouse Station, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since February of 2022. The job was a removal rather than an installation: 30 panels making 6.75 kW taken down in June of 2022, along with the mounting system, the inverters, the disconnects, the exterior conduit and wiring, and the meters. The flashing and lag bolts were deliberately left in place and sealed rather than pulled, because every fastener drawn out of a roof is another hole to close and another chance of a leak years later. Taking an array off properly is a real piece of

Aura Home Exteriors in Aberdeen Township, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since March of 2026. A roof cannot be replaced with an array bolted to it, and most roofing contractors have no reason to own that problem – so this one brought us in to handle the solar while the crew handled the shingles. We took down all 42 panels and the mounting system in April of 2026, and once the new roof was on we re-installed the array with new flashing at every roof penetration. New flashing is the part not to economize on: the

Yun from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since May of 2026. That month we removed an existing 4.5 kW array: 20 panels, the mounting system, the inverter, the disconnects and all the exterior conduit and wiring, so the roof underneath could be replaced. The flashing and lag bolts were left in place for the roofer to take out, and that detail is what decides whether the roof leaks afterwards. Pulling them early opens twenty-odd holes in a deck that is about to be stripped anyway, and every one of them is a chance for water
