Why use a SOLAR Panel removal service?
Roof work like moss clearing, roof cleaning, repairs or retiling require solar panels to be removed
It's not like changing a light bulb
Solar panels need to be treated like the advanced technology they are. 93% of warranties are void if they are not handled by qualified professionals, leaving you responsible for any future repair and replacement costs. They are heavy and dangerous for untrained professionals to handle. Experts are hired to keep people, property and panels safe.
A new roof with no new problems
If your roof is near the end of its life, you need to remove your solar panels before having it replaced. Solar panels are heavy and need to handled by a professional, so that they are not damaged or reinstalled incorrectly. We make sure, when we put your panels back on your roof, that they are adjusted for maximum efficiency.
Repair your roof without worry
Even if the area of the roof that needs repairing is not under or directly next to your solar panels, it can be worth removing them. Solar panels are heavy and should only be fixed to a secure roof. If the structure is compromised, the weight of solar panels can make the situation worse. Plus, roofers can damage panels accidentally while working.
Clear moss from your roof
Most people agree that moss makes a house look old and messy, lowering curb appeal and value. Love it or hate it, moss is terrible for your roof. Moss holds up to 20 times its weight in water, which becomes a problem with enough moss. With some roof types, moss can lead to water damage that costs much more than removing moss early.
Clear debris from under your panels
Leaves, sticks, moss and more can get stuck under your panels, which is more than just a bad look. Solar panels are designed with a gap under them for a good reason. When the space under the panels starts to fill up, their efficiency can begin to drop. This is due to reduced airflow leading to the processors in the panels overheating.
You may have other reasons
You may need to move house, build an extension, sell your panels, replace windows or have had the brilliant idea of making a striking piece of modern art from your investment. Whatever the reason, we are here to make sure your panels are removed safely and efficiently. If you just need your panels removed, and not reinstalled, it costs you less.

is your roof at risk?
Roofs only last 25 to 50 years. Clearing moss from your roof can make it last longer.
The cost of a roof clean is nothing compared to the cost of replacing your roof!

How We Remove Solar Panels
The steps we take to safely remove and replace solar panels
1
Roof access
The first step is getting to your solar panels. They are very heavy, so we need to provide scaffolding unless it is already on-site. Scaffolding is quoted separately, based on a number of factors such as where and how large the scaffolding needs to be.

Removing panels
Once we are on your roof and have access to your panels, we professionally remove and store them safely on-site. All our experts are qualified solar technicians with years of experience. We safely deactivate, unplug and detach the panels and connected parts. We take the panels down from the roof, one at a time, via the scaffold tower. When they are down, we store them safely on your property, until it is time for them to be reinstalled.

Extra services
While your solar panels are removed, you may want to take advantage of our other services. We offer a wide variety of related services, such as roof cleaning and panel cleaning.
You can find options for all of our related services on this page. If you are getting your roof replaced, you definitely won’t need it cleaned, but you may want us to pest-proof your panels, or take advantage of our other great value services while we are around.

Reinstallation
After your project is completed, and it is time to get your renewable energy back online, we will return to reinstall the panels and adjust alignment to maximise efficiency. You may want to schedule us to remove the panels one day and reinstall them the following day. If you are having an extensive roof project undertaken, and need us to return in a few days, weeks or months, that is perfectly fine. We will work with your timeline.
