Solar panel removal and refit in Wellington

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.

We lift the array, fix or replace the roof, and refit the panels with new seals and flashings, with a registered electrician handling the disconnection and reconnection.

When panels need to come off

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

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)

How we handle it

We photograph the array and roof before removal, store panels safely, carry out the roof work, and refit with new seals. The registered electrician tests and reconnects the system.

How the job works

1. Call or send the form

   Tell us what you have noticed and where. We call back to book a time to look at the roof. If water is coming in now, call rather than using the form.

2. We inspect and photograph

   We get on the roof (or use a drone or ladder where that is safer), photograph what matters, and check the underside where we can reach it.

3. Written quote with the photos

   You get the photos, what we found, and a written price. If repair, restore and replace are all options, we price them side by side.

4. The work, then proof

   We do the job, clean up, and send photos of the finished work so you can see what was done on a roof you cannot easily see yourself.
