When a roof needs to be replaced, the solar system has to come down first. That sounds simple, but it's actually one of the more involved jobs in solar service - every panel has to come off cleanly, the roof work gets done, and then everything goes right back up correctly. Wiring, racking, torque specs, all of it. If any step is rushed or handled by someone who doesn't specialize in solar, you're looking at potential damage, performance issues, or worse.
This Newport, RI job is a good example of how we handle that kind of coordination. The roofing crew does their thing, and we handle the solar side start to finish. Panels come down safely before the tear-off begins, and once the new roof is done and ready, we go right back up and reinstall the system properly. The whole array goes back dialed in - same layout, same performance, no shortcuts.
What we do at SunQuest Solar is different from most companies you'll come across. We don't do new installs. Our entire focus is on existing solar systems across Rhode Island - keeping them running, fixing what's broken, and handling all the in-between stuff that other companies either can't do or won't bother with. That includes solar removal and reinstall for roof work, diagnostics, troubleshooting, inverter replacement, critter guard installation, and full system decommissioning and recycling for residential, commercial, and ground mount systems.
That narrow focus matters. When a company only does one thing, they get really good at it. We've handled enough removal and reinstall jobs to know every way things can go wrong - and how to make sure they don't. Whether your system is underperforming, you've got a roof situation coming up, or you just want to know what shape your system is in, we can help.
