Solar Panel Removal and Refit in Porirua

If the roof under a Porirua solar array is leaking or rusting, we remove the panels, fix the roof, and refit them with new seals and wind-rated fixings.

Solar Panel Removal and Refit on Porirua roofs

Porirua roofs can get strong sun, but they also get strong wind. Panels need to be fixed into the roof framing and every penetration flashed properly, which is exactly the part roofers should be doing.

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.

The housing ranges from older long-run and tile roofs in the established suburbs to newer homes in Whitby and Aotea, so the right answer for a roof here depends very much on the street.

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.
