Reroofing under an existing array in Kitty Hawk
A solar array should outlive the roof beneath it. When it does not, the array has to come off. We remove the panels and racking, keep the hardware safe while the roofing work happens, then reinstall and retest the full system.
The usual failure mode on these projects is a roofer and a solar company blaming each other for a later leak. Keeping the solar side with one accountable team removes that argument.
Roof condition varies widely across Kitty Hawk and the Outer Banks, so we inspect decking and framing before committing to a schedule, and we coordinate with the Town of Kitty Hawk and Dare County where a permit is required.

Reroofing for Solar Systems in Kitty Hawk: Common Questions
Do I need to remove solar panels to replace a roof?
Yes. Roofing cannot be done properly underneath a mounted array, and the mounts and flashing need to be redone as part of the new roof.
Will my system be offline during the reroof?
Only while the panels are down. We plan the schedule with the roofing contractor to keep that window as short as possible.
Who is responsible if there is a leak afterward?
The roofing contractor is responsible for the roof. We are responsible for the solar attachments, flashing at the mounts and the reinstalled system.
Should I reroof before installing solar in the first place?
If the roof is near the end of its life, yes. Doing it in the right order avoids paying twice to move the same panels.
