Solar Pool Panel Removal for a Roof Replacement
Getting a new roof? The panels come off before the roofer starts and go back on after. We pull your solar pool system, cap the plumbing, label and store every piece, then reinstall to spec and pressure-test it once the work below is done. Roof replacement, re-roofing, a remodel, or new equipment under the array — any brand, whoever installed it.
How it works
Off, out of the way, and back on right
Roofers and other trades need a clear roof. We coordinate around their schedule, not the other way around.
Tell us the timeline
Roof replacement, re-roofing, a remodel, or new equipment going on the roof — tell us what's happening and when, and we'll schedule the panel pull around it.
We remove & cap the system
Panels come off, plumbing is capped, and everything is labeled and stored so reinstallation goes back exactly where it came from.
Reinstalled and tested
Once the roof or equipment work is done, we reinstall, reconnect, and pressure-test the system before we leave.
Any solar pool system

FAQ
Removal questions
Yes — it's most of what this page is about. The panels, the plumbing and the mounting hardware all sit on the surface being replaced, so the array comes down before the roofer starts and goes back up after the new roof is on. We cap the plumbing, label and store every piece, reinstall to spec, and pressure-test the whole system before we leave. Any brand, whoever installed it.
We do. Solar pool heating is a C-46 solar contractor's trade — ours is license #924564 — and taking a pool array off a roof, storing it and putting it back on the new roof is work we've been doing since 1981. Tell us who's doing the roof and when, and we'll take it from there.
Yes — that's the normal way it goes. Tell us who's doing the roof and when, and we'll schedule the panel pull and the reinstall around their timeline, not the other way around.
We cap the plumbing, and the panels are labeled and stored so reinstallation puts every piece back exactly where it came from — then the whole system is pressure-tested before we leave.
Usually, if they're mid-life and holding pressure. Panels typically last 12–20 years — if yours are near the end, reroofing time is the natural moment to replace them instead of paying for a second round of roof work later.
