🔧 Solar Panel Detach & Reset — Houston, TX

Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall —
Done by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.

Replacing your roof? Selling your home? Original installer out of business? We safely remove your entire solar system, inspect it while it's down, coordinate with your roofer, and reinstall everything exactly as it was — or better.

⚡

Unlike roofing companies offering this service: Texas Direct Solar is a licensed electrical contractor (License #34757) and NABCEP certified — meaning we can legally handle the electrical disconnection, identify system issues during removal, and fix what we find before reinstall.

Who Needs Detach & Reset
Four Reasons Houston Homeowners
Call Us

Whatever the reason your panels need to come down, we handle the full process — removal, storage, coordination, and reinstall.

🏠

Replacing Your Roof

Your roofer needs the panels off before they can start. We remove them before the roof work begins and reinstall once it's complete — coordinating directly with your roofing contractor.

🔌

Original Installer Is Gone

SunPower closed. Local installers shut down. National companies stopped serving Houston. If your original installer is no longer around, we service and relocate any brand.

🏡

Selling Your Home

Need panels removed before closing, or want to take your system to your new home? We handle the full removal, proper documentation, and reinstall at the new address.

🔧

Roof Repairs & Renovations

HVAC work, structural repairs, attic renovations, or any project that requires temporary panel removal. We work around your contractor's schedule.

What Makes Us Different

We Inspect Your System
Before We Take It Down

Most detach & reset companies just remove and reinstall — they don't check your system. We do. Before we disconnect anything, we assess your solar system's performance and condition.

If we find issues — degraded panels, faulty inverters, loose connections, wiring problems — we document everything and present you with a remediation quote. You know exactly what you're working with before and after the roof project.

  • ✓Full system performance assessment before removal
  • ✓Written documentation of system condition
  • ✓Remediation quote if issues are found — no surprises
  • ✓System testing after reinstall confirms everything works

Pricing

What Does Detach
& Reset Cost?

Pricing depends on your system size, panel count, roof pitch, and whether repairs are needed. Every project gets a free custom quote — no estimates over the phone without seeing the system.

* Pricing does not include repairs if issues are identified during inspection. A separate remediation quote is provided before any repair work begins.

Insurance

Insurance May Cover
Your Entire Cost

If your roof replacement is the result of storm damage, hail, or a covered insurance claim — which is common in Houston — the detach and reset cost is often fully covered by your homeowner's insurance policy.

Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Before Scheduling
Yes. Solar panels must be removed before a proper roof replacement can be performed. Roofing materials, underlayment, and flashing must be installed without obstructions to ensure long-term performance and warranty validity. Panels cannot remain on the roof during this work.
Not when performed by a licensed professional. Texas Direct Solar holds Texas Electrical Contractor License #34757 and follows all manufacturer guidelines during removal and reinstallation. We document the process thoroughly so your warranty remains fully intact. Using an unlicensed contractor for removal can void warranties — which is a key reason to avoid roofing companies without electrical licenses.
Before we disconnect anything, we assess your system's current production and performance, inspect panel condition, check inverter operation, review wiring and connection integrity, and examine mounting hardware. If we identify issues, we document everything and present you with a remediation quote. You decide whether to proceed with repairs — there's no obligation. This protects you from discovering post-reinstall problems that may have existed before we touched the system.
Yes — and we recommend it. We contact your roofer to align removal timing (we come before they start) and reinstall timing (we come after the roof is complete and approved). This eliminates the back-and-forth for you and ensures the project flows smoothly. Just give us their contact information when you schedule.
Removal takes approximately one day depending on system size. Reinstallation also takes about one day. Your roofer works in between — typically 1–5 days depending on the scope. Total project timeline is usually 3–7 days from removal to your system being back online and producing power.
Yes. We service all brands and all systems regardless of who originally installed them. SunPower, Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla, Generac, or any other brand — if it's on a Houston roof, we can detach it, inspect it, and reset it. Our pre-removal inspection is especially valuable in this situation since we can identify any existing issues the previous installer may have left behind.
Often yes. If your roof replacement is the result of storm damage, hail, or another covered insurance peril, the detach and reset cost is frequently included in the claim settlement. We work with insurance adjusters and can provide the documentation they need. Ask us about this when you schedule your quote — it's worth verifying with your insurer before you pay out of pocket.
