Pricing depends on system size (panel count), roof pitch and type, and access — most residential jobs fall in a broad range depending on these factors. We'll give you an exact number after a quick assessment; there's no cost to get a quote.

Detach is typically completed in a single day for most residential systems. Reset happens after your roof work is finished and usually takes a comparable amount of time. We coordinate directly with the roofing timeline so there's no unnecessary downtime for your system.

If your roof replacement is tied to storm or hail damage, the detach-and-reset cost is often eligible to be included as part of your insurance claim. We'd recommend confirming this directly with your adjuster or roofing contractor as part of your claim scope, and we're glad to provide documentation of the work for your file.

Volt provides solar panel removal and reinstallation across Illinois and Pennsylvania.

In almost all cases, yes. Panels are fastened directly into the roof deck, and a roofer can't safely tear off or replace roofing material underneath an active array. Removing panels first protects both your roof and your solar system.

No-this should be done by a certified solar contractor, not a general roofing crew. Solar panels carry live DC electricity anytime there's daylight, even with the inverter switched off, and improper handling can void your panel and inverter warranties or create serious safety hazards.

Not normally if it's done by a certified installer following manufacturer specifications. That's the main risk of letting an uncertified person handle it. Most manufacturers require licensed, certified technicians for any removal and reinstallation to keep the warranty intact.

Either way. If you already have a roofing contractor, we coordinate directly with them on timing so there's no gap between roof completion and your panels going back on. If you don't have one yet, we can point you toward contractors we've worked with before.
