Getting a new roof with solar panels is a specialty job. We are the only roofer in Western MA and Northern CT who coordinates directly with your solar company to protect your warranty and your investment.
Your solar panels are connected to your home's electrical system. They are mounted with hardware that must be removed and reinstalled in a specific way. If a roofer does it wrong, your solar warranty is gone.
We have done this before. We know the process. We call your solar company, follow their protocol, document everything, and put your system back exactly the way it was.
If a roofer who does not understand solar removes your panels, they can damage the mounting hardware, break the wiring, and void your solar warranty in one afternoon.
We call your solar installer before we touch anything. We follow their removal protocol exactly so your warranty stays active and your system works perfectly when we reinstall.
We photograph every panel, every wire, and every mount before removal. When we reinstall, everything goes back exactly where it was. No guessing.
Before we touch a single panel, we contact your solar installer to get their removal and reinstall protocol. Your warranty is protected from the start.
We remove each panel carefully, label it, and store it safely on the ground. No scratches, no broken connectors, no damaged wiring.
We replace your roof, fix the flashing, and prepare the mounts for reinstall. Your roof is now better than it was before.
We reinstall every panel exactly where it was. We run a basic output check before we leave. Your system is back online and your warranty is intact.
We use a magnetic sweep after every job. Your garden is protected. Your flowers stay safe. Your kids and pets can play outside the same day we finish.
"I was terrified to get my roof replaced because I thought it would void my solar warranty. Thrive called my solar company first, followed their exact process, and my system came back online with zero issues. They even cleaned my panels while they were at it."
"My regular roofer said he could handle the panels. My solar company said absolutely not. Thrive was the only roofing company they approved. Now I know why. They are the real deal."
Detach and reset typically costs $1,500 to $4,000 depending on system size and complexity. We provide a firm written quote before any work begins. This cost is often covered by homeowner's insurance when the roof replacement is storm-related.
Not when we do it. We contact your solar installer before we touch anything, follow their exact removal and reinstallation protocol, and document every step. Your warranty stays fully intact.
Panel removal typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Reinstallation takes another 2 to 4 hours after the roof work is complete. We coordinate the timing so your system is offline for as little time as possible.
We can help you identify your system and manufacturer from the equipment on your roof. We have worked with every major solar brand installed in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut.
Yes. We run a basic output verification before we leave. If there is any issue, we troubleshoot it on site. We do not leave until your system is confirmed operational.
Call us before you let any roofer near your panels. We will tell you exactly what needs to happen to keep your warranty active and your system running.
