Solar Panel Removal and Refit in Lower Hutt

If panels went onto an older Lower Hutt roof and that roof now needs work, we lift the array, fix or replace the roof, and refit the panels with new seals.

Solar Panel Removal and Refit on Lower Hutt roofs

Wide valley streets in Petone, Alicetown and Epuni give many Lower Hutt roofs good open sun. The roof under the panels has to last as long as they do, so we check its condition before anything is fixed to it.

When the roof under a solar array leaks or needs replacing, the panels have to come off first. Coordinating a solar company and a roofer separately is slow and leaves gaps in responsibility.

That split matters on a roof. A valley home in Naenae or Taita usually needs fixings, flashings and coatings that will cope with age and rain. A bayside home in Eastbourne needs materials chosen for salt as well.

BRANZ notes that solar panels are fixed through the roof to the framing, so their penetrations must be flashed as part of the roof. (BRANZ, Replacing a profiled metal roof)

What to look for

• Leaks around solar mounting penetrations
• Re-roofing or roof restoration under an existing array
• Rust or damage hidden under panels

Every job follows the same steps: we look at the roof, photograph what we find, send a written quote, then send photos of the finished work. More about solar Panel Removal and Refit.
