Solar Panel Removal & Replacement Services

Don't Let a Leaky Roof Damage Your House

Solar Panel Removal and Replacement Services

Removing and reinstalling solar panels involves more than just taking panels off and putting them back on—it requires expert handling, code compliance, and careful planning. At Green Sun Energy Services, we offer three tailored options to match your goals and budget:

Solar Removal and New Roof

Solar Removal and New Roof Installation

Ideal for homeowners not staying long-term or unable to benefit from reinstalling a solar system. This includes full panel removal and a new GAF Timberline HD roof, but does not include solar reinstallation.

Solar Removal, New Roof & Re-installation Of Your Existing System

Solar Removal, Roof Replacement & System Reinstallation

Best for homeowners planning to stay at least five years. Includes full roof replacement, system reinstallation, and necessary upgrades to meet NEC 2017 compliance.

Solar Panel Deinstallation, New Roof & New Solar

Solar Panel Removal, Roof Replacement & New Solar Installation

Perfect for long-term homeowners with outdated systems. This option includes new solar design, installation, registration for SRECs, and eligibility for the Federal Tax Credit.

Whether you're upgrading, replacing, or starting fresh, we ensure your project is handled professionally from start to finish.

Key Questions to Determine the Best Approach for Solar Panel Removal and Reinstallation

    • How long do I plan to stay in my house?
    • Do I owe any money on my existing solar panel system?
    • Have I already achieved the ROI that I expected?
    • How many years of SREC income do I have left?
    • Are my inverters in compliance with 2017 National Electric Code requiring module level rapid shutdown?
    • Are my inverters at the end of life (most older inverters only last 10-years)?  Will they need to be replaced soon?
    • Can I take advantage of the current Federal Tax Credit?

Warning Signs that your solar system is failing

Prior to 2015, many solar installers simply injected a tar-based sealant into the pilot hole and applied some more over the top of the lag bolt.  Over time, these sealants have been breaking down allowing water to enter the lag bolt holes causing roof leaks. If left untreated, this can damage your roof rafters, sheathing, sheet rock, and cause mold.

Limited Protection

Bad Solar Installation With No Flashing

The "calk and pray" installation approach that was taken by many installers is illustrated above.

Rotted Rafters

Bad Solar Installation Caused Extensive Wood Rot & Leaking

As water infiltrates from the roof, it can lead to rotted rafters that may need to be replaced.

Rotted Sheathing

Bad Solar Installation Causes Damaged Roof Sheathing

Most times if there are signs of rotted rafters, the roof sheathing will also be damaged and require replacement.

Damaged Drywall

As water drips from the failed penetrations, attic insulation and sheet rock may also need to be replaced.

We scheduled Green Sun to wash our roof, panels, siding, deck/patio/pavers and fence. It all went very well and the results are a vastly improved look for our property. I'll give them a 5 star rating for their work on this, as well as their solar panels business. Whether you have solar panels or not, consider giving Green Sun a chance to do your next soft wash project on your property. It worked out great for me and I highly recommend Green Sun. They are efficient, courteous, and professional and I recommend that you give them a chance for your next project for your home and property.

If you are thinking about “going solar,” or even just getting a standby generator, you really ought to give Glen at Green Sun a call. "- Wayne from Middletown, NJ.  Solar Panel InstallationI recently contacted Green Sun ("GS")about power washing my house, deck, walkways, retaining walls, etc. GS obtained a detailed and up-to-date view of my property, and, along with the square footage of my home, developed a cost estimate. I obtained an estimate from another contractor, which was based on the same information as the GS estimate. GS was less expensive by a not-insignificant amount; yet, as best as I could determine, GS offered the same thorough approach using similar products as their competitor. I moved forward with GS. The 2-person team arrived on time on the scheduled day, and worked the full day, power washing all the walkways, deck, patio, retaining walls. I was scheduled for 2 days, and the team returned as scheduled and completed the job, including the roof and the rest of the house. The results were excellent- what a difference! The team quite obviously cared about what they were doing. A concern I had was the impact the power washing might have on the mature landscaping surrounding the treated areas. I was assured that as a matter of course, the team waters down the plants, trees, etc., before and after treatment. I need not have been concerned - no issues there. When it's time (again), I will definitely be using Green Sun for power washing. - Google
