What Our Removal and Reinstallation Service Covers

We work on any solar system, from any manufacturer, in any setting. Common reasons property owners schedule removal and reinstallation include:

  • Roof replacement or repair
  • Home sale or property transfer
  • System upgrade or component replacement
  • Relocation to a new property or new roof section
  • Major renovation or new construction integration

 

Our services include:

  • Diagnostics and Performance Baseline — Troubleshooting and diagnostics before and after removal to establish a performance baseline and confirm the system is restored correctly.
  • Safe System Removal — Solar collectors, panels, inverters, and control systems are removed to manufacturer specifications to protect equipment integrity throughout the process.
  • Battery Storage Handling — Battery systems require specific handling for fire code clearance and proper indoor/outdoor placement reset — particularly relevant for NEM 3.0 retrofits and newer hybrid systems.
  • Component Evaluation and Replacement — During reinstallation, worn or outdated parts are identified and replaced as needed. Common replacement candidates include aged inverters, cracked vacuum relief valves, worn drain-back valves, and degraded glycol in solar water heating systems.
  • Full System Relocation — Complete relocation to a new roof or property, including system redesign where needed to match the new installation site and meet current code requirements.
  • Reinstallation and System Testing — Full reinstallation followed by comprehensive system testing to confirm performance before sign-off.

 

If you are planning a roof replacement, Suntrek Solar works directly with your roofing contractor to time the removal and reinstallation around your project schedule. We make sure your system comes down cleanly, your roof gets replaced without interference, and your solar is back up and running with minimal downtime.

Replacing Your Roof? We Coordinate the Process

What Our Clients Are Saying

My first install with Suntrek was 15 years ago and we never had a problem with the system. This past summer, we had them install their system at our new home. Amanda has communicated well and we have not had any problems (so far). Today, we had our winterize service done and the crew that came out was very friendly, very helpful and very professional. I have no complaints toward Suntrek (and I like to complain!).

Suntrek is an excellent company with amazing, professional, and kind employees. We had our solar panels installed 20 years ago and they are still cranking out the power. We recently had a new solar heater for our pool installed and we could not be more pleased. I highly recommend this company. Their service and products are excellent, and their employees are even better!!

We have used Suntrek solar for both our homes in southern CA and have had a great experience both times. Pricing was very competitive; in fact their quote was lower than any of the others we got and the quality of the panels superior. They completed the project within with estimated time quoted. The cost was exactly as predicted in the quote and they have been great about monitoring the system and making sure it’s preforming properly. I highly recommend them. We used them for both home solar as well as pool solar and have been very happy with them.

I had a great experience working with Suntrek. From the start, I spoke with about 4 different Solar companies, and I have to say Ethan was the most transparent and explained the processes around solar better than anyone else I spoke with. Although from start to finish took a little longer than expected, not because of any fault of Suntrek. They did get my electric solar installed by the end of the year so that I could include it on my 2021 tax returns, and then got the pool solar quickly done in early January.

I have used Suntrek Solar for years, we are an Architectural firm-Studio 6 Architects, and enjoy working with Ethan. I recently have installed a solar system on my house, and the experience was great, they are very professional, and meet all the costs and deadlines, this is why we will continue to make Suntrek’s the company we will always recommend to our client.

Had a fantastic experience with Ethan and his team. They installed it on time and left my yard clean after they were finished. We had a wonderful summer in our pool after getting the solar heater system installed. Been here three years and the previous owners didn’t put a heater in when they put the pool in… we spent maybe 1 hour over the last 3 years in the pool. This summer was amazing, my son had a blast and the system worked great! We were in it almost daily and it was great! Thank you everyone!

I am delighted with my Suntrek Solar system. It has extended my pool use by several months. The company was a delight to deal with – very thorough and professional. I should have done it years ago.
