Full Roof Replacement or Just the Solar Side

Sometimes a roof needs to be fully replaced. Other times, the only trouble spot is under the panels. Most roofers walk away from that kind of work — we don’t. Whether it’s redoing a single slope or replacing the entire roof, we’ll do the job the right way. That means a roof that protects your home and a solar system put right back where it belongs.

FAQs About Replacing Your Roof When You Have Solar Panels

Do the panels really have to be removed first?

Yes. There’s no way to replace roofing properly with panels still in place. Our solar partner carefully removes and stores them before we begin work.

Evergreen Solar’s licensed electricians take care of removing, labeling, and later reinstalling your system so everything goes back exactly where it belongs.

They will. Because both trades are handled by certified professionals, your roof and solar warranties remain intact.

Only for a short time. Most projects have panels offline for a couple of days at most, since removal, reroofing, and reinstallation are all scheduled together.

Yes. If the rest of your roof is still solid, we can replace just the slope where the solar sits. It’s a full section replacement — not a patch — so it blends properly and lasts.

We install CertainTeed architectural shingles. They’re 50-year rated, backed by manufacturer warranties, and installed by our Select ShingleMaster certified crews.

Absolutely. We take care to match the shingle color and style to your existing roof, or you can choose an updated look if you’d like a refresh.

Yes. Many homeowners add panels during a roof project — especially if they’ve added an EV, heat pumps, or just need more power than before.

We’ll inspect your roof and explain your options. If only the solar side needs attention, we won’t push for a full reroof. If the whole roof is nearing the end of its life, we’ll recommend replacement so you don’t have to redo this process twice.

We take property protection seriously. From drop cloths to magnets for stray nails, our crews leave your yard and driveway as clean as we found them.

Yes. Our team coordinates all necessary permits and inspections, so you don’t have to manage two contractors or town paperwork.

We offer flexible financing plans to make roof work affordable while keeping your solar system producing.
