Solar Panel Removal and Refit in Upper Hutt
We check the roof first, then fit panels that stay put in the wind, across Upper Hutt from Trentham to Timberlea.
Panels on an Upper Hutt roof that now needs moss treatment, repairs or replacement can be lifted, stored and refitted with new seals once the roof work is done.
Solar Panel Removal and Refit on Upper Hutt roofs
Open, north-facing roofs in suburbs like Trentham, Wallaceville and Totara Park can suit solar well. Shading from hills and trees varies a lot street to street, so we check each roof rather than assume.
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 result is a different set of roof problems from the coast: moss and lichen on shaded slopes, leaves filling spouting and valleys, and damp that sits on a roof longer after rain.
Upper Hutt exposure: Being well inland, most Upper Hutt roofs face less salt than coastal areas; shaded and bush-backed sections are where moss, lichen and blocked spouting cause the most trouble.
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.
