Replacing a roof with solar panels on it in Georgia? Here's how solar remove and reinstall works
EKO Solar Pros · Solar repair and troubleshooting · Metro Atlanta · Updated 2026-09-30
When a roof with solar panels needs replacing, the panels, optimizers and racking have to be removed before the roofer starts and reinstalled after the new roof is on. EKO Solar Pros does this for homeowners and roofers in metro Atlanta and Georgia: we remove the array in order, inspect the wiring, replace damaged connectors and optimizers, reinstall the panels and test that the system is producing again.
Do solar panels have to be removed to replace my roof?
Yes. The roofer needs the panels, optimizers and racking off the roof to replace it. EKO Solar Pros removes them before the roofing work starts and reinstalls them once the new roof is on.
