Solar Detach and Reset Services in Mokena
Most calls start the same way. The roof needs replacing, and there is a solar array sitting on it. Everything below is built around that moment, so you can see where your project fits before we talk.
Solar Panel Removal & Reinstallation (Detach & Reset)
The core job. Power down, disconnect, pull the panels, racking and conduit, label and store it all, then put the system back on the new roof, reconnect it and confirm it is making power.
Insurance Claim Detach & Reset
Roof claim with solar on top? You get an itemized detach and reset scope with photos, written so the solar line item is clear to your roofer and your adjuster. The claim stays yours.
Detach & Reset for Roofing Contractors
For roofers. Per-panel pricing, a detach timed ahead of your tear-off and a reset booked behind your install, with a clear deck handed over in between.
Roof Replacement Under Solar Panels
One plan for the whole roof. The panels come off, the roof gets replaced, new mounts and flashing go in and the array goes back, all sequenced as a single job.
Solar Panel Critter Guard
Non-penetrating mesh around the edge of the array. It keeps pigeons, nests and blown debris out of the gap under your panels, and it is easiest to add while the system is being reset.
Six Steps, Each One Dated
Tell us the roof date
Call with your roofer's plan, the panel count and whether you own or lease the system. If there is no roof date yet, that is fine. We map the order of work first.
Site check before anything moves
We look at the array, the mounts, the wiring runs and the roof. Photos get taken and a production reading is recorded, so there is a clear before picture.
Firm quote and a written sequence
You get a firm price by phone, usually within 48 hours, plus the order of work. Where permits or utility notices apply, they go on the timeline too.
Shutdown and detach
The system is safely de-energized and disconnected. Panels, racking and conduit come off. Every piece is labeled, inventoried and moved into protected storage.
New roof, new mounts
Your roofer works on a clean deck. Once the new roof is down, fresh mounts go in and every penetration is re-flashed before a single panel returns.
Reset, reconnect, test
Panels go back in their original spots, the system is reconnected and production is checked against the before reading. You get the paperwork when the crew packs up.
Why Homeowners and Roofers Call Here
A reroof under solar goes sideways in predictable places. A vague price. A system that sits in the garage too long. Paperwork nobody can find. We built the job to close those gaps.
The quote is itemized and agreed first
Removal, storage, reinstallation, new flashing and any parts are listed separately. You see each line before work begins, and the number does not drift once the panels are down.
Workmanship you can hold us to
The labor and every roof attachment we make are documented in writing. You also get plain guidance on protecting the coverage your panels and inverter shipped with.
Panels handled like the investment they are
Each module and rail is labeled to its position, stacked properly and kept away from impact, moisture and theft until reinstall day.
Claim paperwork that reads clearly
Written estimates and photos you or your roofer can hand to the adjuster. We document the solar side. You stay in charge of the claim.

Straight Answers for Mokena Homeowners
The questions that come up most when a roof and a solar array need to be dealt with together.
My panels are leased or on a PPA. Can I hire someone else to take them off?
Usually only with the leasing company's approval. A leased or PPA system belongs to the provider, so the agreement spells out who may remove it and how. Read the lease, call the leasing company first and ask what they require. We can then plan the detach and reset to fit their rules.
Should the roof be replaced before solar goes on it?
Ideally, yes. A roof near the end of its life is better replaced before an array covers it, which avoids paying for a removal later. If the panels are already up and the roof is aging, the next best move is to reroof once, with the detach and reset folded into the same plan.
How long will my system be offline?
It comes down to panel count, roof layout and how long your roofer needs. The detach and the reset are each short visits. The longer stretch is the roofing in between, plus any inspection or utility step where one applies. You get the full sequence and dates on the quote call, before anything is touched.
Why would production dip after the panels go back on?
Start with the simple checks: is the system switched back on, and is monitoring reporting again? A tripped breaker, a monitoring device that lost its connection or a loose connector can all show up as lower output. We test production before leaving the job, and if numbers look off afterward, call and we will come back and look at our work.
Does the utility have to be told, and do I need new permission to operate?
Sometimes. Where your utility requires notice of a detach and reset, or a sign-off before the system goes back online, that step is built into the schedule. Rules differ, so we confirm what applies to your home during quoting rather than assuming.
