Removing and Reinstalling Solar Panels for Roof Work in Lewisville

NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 162 hail reports within 10 miles of Lewisville from 2015 through 2024, including 4.25-inch hail on June 11, 2023. After a storm like that, a roof with solar may need repairs in areas the panels cover.

Half of the homes in Lewisville were built before 1997 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Some of those homes added panels on a roof that was already well into its life. When that roof wears out, the panels come off, the roof is replaced and the array goes back up.

There is also the case of a leak that starts at a mount. Water can follow a fastener into the decking and show up in a ceiling far from the array. Fixing it properly usually means lifting the panels around that point.

The biggest risk in this job is a gap between two contractors. If one company removes the panels and another does the roof, it can be hard to know who is responsible when a mount leaks later.

Plan the sequence before work begins: when the panels come off, where they will be stored, how long the roof work will take and when the system goes back up. Ask for photos at each stage so you have a record of the roof under the array.
