Panel removal and reset for Richmond roof replacements
Roofing contractors across Central Virginia call us when a Richmond job has solar on it. They handle the roof, we handle the solar: disconnection, panel and rail removal, safe on-site storage, then a full reset with mounts reflashed and the system retested and reconnected.
Homeowners call us too, usually when the company that installed the array is no longer in business or no longer covers Richmond. You do not need your original installer to get the panels moved correctly.
Because we are a solar company rather than a roofing company, the electrical side is done by people who do it every day. Where an electrical permit is required, we pull it through the City of Richmond, and if the reset affects the interconnection we coordinate with Dominion Energy.

Remove & Reset in Richmond: Common Questions
Who removes solar panels before a roof replacement in Richmond?
We do. The Solar Doctors remove the panels, rails and mounting hardware so your roofing contractor works on a clear deck, then reset the system afterward.
Do you do the roofing work as well?
No. We are a solar company. Your roofing contractor performs the roofing work and remains responsible for it. We handle only the solar removal and reset.
How long are the panels off the roof?
That depends on your roofer's schedule. We coordinate directly with them so the array comes off just before they start and goes back on as soon as the new roof is complete.
My original installer is gone. Can you still help?
Yes. Working on other companies' systems, including systems from installers who have closed, is routine for us across Central Virginia.
