Why Do Solar Panels Need to Be Removed and Replaced?
There are many reasons why homeowners and businesses contact us to remove and reinstall or replace solar panels. Here are the top 10:
1. Roof Repairs or Replacement
If your roof is reaching the end of its life or has sustained damage, it must be repaired before reinstalling your solar system. We’ll carefully detach your panels, coordinate with your roofer, and reinstall everything perfectly once roofing is complete.
2. Storm or Hail Damage
Hail, high winds, and falling branches can crack or break solar panels. We work closely with insurance companies to help you process claims and handle everything from removal to replacement.
3. Upgrading to New, More Efficient Panels
Technology evolves quickly. If your system is more than 10 years old, you may benefit from upgrading to newer, higher-output panels — often using the same footprint on your roof.
4. Faulty or Underperforming Equipment
Noticing a drop in performance? Degraded or failing panels, wiring, or inverters may need replacement. Our team can diagnose, remove, and install better-performing components.
5. Home Renovations or Additions
Adding a dormer, second story, or skylights? We’ll temporarily remove panels or reposition your array as part of your remodel or expansion.
6. Roof Leaks Caused by Poor Installation
Sadly, not all solar installers meet our high standards. If your system was poorly installed and is now causing leaks, we’ll detach the panels, repair roof penetrations, and reinstall the system correctly.
7. Panel Relocation for Better Sun Exposure
Shade from new trees or nearby structures can reduce energy production. Let us assess and relocate your panels for maximum efficiency.
8. Insurance Claims and Storm Recovery
Sunny Side Solutions Solar works directly with insurance adjusters to provide documentation and expert service in storm-damaged systems across Minnesota.
9. Manufacturer Recalls or Warranty Replacements
If your solar panels were recalled or need to be replaced under warranty, we’ll handle the removal and reinstallation process, coordinating with manufacturers as needed.
10. Changing Energy Needs
Have you added electric vehicles, HVAC systems, or other energy-intensive upgrades? We can remove your existing panels and install a right-sized system that supports your lifestyle.

FAQs About Solar Panel Removal & Replacement
Do I have to replace my solar panels when I replace my roof?
No — we can remove your existing panels, store them safely, and reinstall them once roofing is complete. This is called a solar detach and reset.
Can you help with insurance claims for hail or wind damage?
Yes! We work directly with homeowners and their insurers to handle removal, documentation, and reinstallation after covered storm damage.
What if I want to remove solar entirely?
No problem. If you’re done with solar, we can safely decommission your system and restore your roof — no need to replace the panels.
How long does the removal and reinstall process take?
Most detach & reset jobs take 1–2 days for removal and 1–2 days for reinstallation, depending on the roof size and number of panels.
