New Roof? We'll Handle Your Solar Panels
We take your solar panels down before the old roof comes off and put them back up once the new roof is done. We can do the roof too, or work with the roofing contractor you choose.
Two ways to do it
Roof and solar with Idahome
- One team, one timeline, one warranty
- Solar detach and reset included at no extra cost when we do your roof
- New workmanship and water-leak warranty on the roof
- No coordinating between contractors
Your roofer, our solar team
- Use the roofing contractor you already picked
- We schedule around your roofer's dates
- Panels come off before tear-off and go back up after the roof is done
- Insurance roof replacements welcome
How it works
- 01
Free inspection
We check your solar system, your roof and your electrical so we know exactly what we are working with, even if we did not install your system.
- 02
Schedule with the roofer
We set dates with our roofing team or yours so the roof is not held up.
- 03
Detach
We safely shut down the system and remove the panels and racking, usually in about a day. Your equipment stays on site at your home during the roofing work.
- 04
New roof goes on
Your roofer installs the new roof. A typical roof replacement through Idahome takes under three weeks from start to finish.
- 05
Reset and test
We reinstall the system with all new mounting feet and flashing, then test it and confirm it is producing and reporting before we leave.
What's included
- All new mounting feet and flashing on the new roof
- 10-year workmanship warranty on the reinstall
- System testing and a monitoring check when we finish
- Permits and inspections where your city or county requires them
- Work on solar systems we did not originally install
- Managed by the Idahome Energy team, with field work by highly vetted installer partners
Why it matters
Most solar panels outlast the roof under them. When it is time for a new roof, the panels have to come off, and the way they go back on decides whether your new roof stays watertight.
Every mount is a hole in your roof. Putting old, worn mounts back on a brand new roof is how leaks start. That is why we replace every mounting foot and back the reinstall with a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Thinking about a battery or more panels? The reinstall is the easiest time to add them.
Getting a new roof through insurance?
Storm and wind claims often include the cost of removing and reinstalling solar. We can provide the documentation your adjuster needs.
