Help for orphaned solar systems
Solar Company Went Out of Business? We'll Remove and Reinstall Your Panels
If your solar company went out of business or your solar installer disappeared, you are not stuck with an unsupported system. The Solar Doctors can inspect it, explain what needs attention, and handle the solar removal and reset work when panels must come off for a roof replacement.
A direct answer
Your installer is gone. Your system still needs support.
If your original solar company went out of business, stopped returning calls, or left the area, The Solar Doctors can become the solar service provider evaluating and addressing your system.
This situation is often called an orphaned system. An abandoned solar system still belongs to the homeowner, but the company that installed it is no longer available to inspect it, service it, or coordinate panel removal for a roofing project.

Project pricing
$150–$350per panel
A quote range tied to your project conditions
The final price within this range depends on:
- Height
- Panel access and complexity based on pictures
- Quality of replacement parts
- Warranty selections
Free inspection within 50 miles
Most companies charge $350 just to look at your system. We don't. Within 50 miles, the inspection is free — because if your solar company burned you, the last thing you need is another bill before you even know what's wrong.

Questions answered
Solar company closed FAQ
What do I do if my solar installer closed or went out of business?
Call The Solar Doctors. We can evaluate the solar system and determine what work is needed. If panels must come down for a roofing project, we handle the solar removal and reset while your roofing contractor handles the roof.
What is an orphaned solar system?
An orphaned system is a solar system whose original installer is no longer available to service it. The homeowner still owns the system but needs another solar service provider to evaluate it and complete the necessary solar work.
Can you help with an abandoned solar system?
Yes. If your original company disappeared or stopped supporting the system, The Solar Doctors can inspect the system, explain what needs attention, and quote the solar work based on its condition and your project.
Who handles my roof replacement when the solar panels need to come off?
Your roofing contractor handles the roof. The Solar Doctors handle the solar panel removal and reset so the roofer can work on a clear roof before the panels are reinstalled.
Can I upgrade my panels while they are being reinstalled?
Replacement parts and warranty selections can affect the final quote. We evaluate the existing system and discuss the available options for that specific project before work begins.
