Replacing a roof is a significant investment, and if you have an existing solar system, the process becomes a bit more complex. Ensuring the job is done right involves carefully removing the solar panels, installing a new roof, and then reinstalling the solar system.
At Palomar Solar and Roofing, based in Escondido, we specialize in this seamless process. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we ensure your new roof is built to last, and your solar system is reinstalled for optimal performance. Here’s what you need to know about this multi-step project and the benefits of working with an experienced team like ours.
Why Remove Solar Panels for Roof Replacement?
Roofing and solar systems are long-term investments, but roofs typically have a lifespan of 20–30 years, depending on the material. If your roof is nearing the end of its life, replacing it before your solar panels experience issues is a smart move.
Here are key reasons to remove your solar panels for a roof replacement:
- Protect Your Solar Investment: A new roof prevents leaks or structural damage that could compromise your solar panels.
- Enhanced Aesthetics and Durability: Installing a new Owens Corning roofing system improves the look and longevity of your home.
- Extended Warranty Options: With Palomar Solar and Roofing, you can access extended roofing warranties, ensuring peace of mind for decades to come.
