Solar Panel Detach, Roof Replacement & Reset

Scope of Work

Turnkey solar panel detach, full residential roof replacement, and precision solar reset in Carlsbad. Coordinated DC string isolation, labeled and safely stored 28 photovoltaic modules, tore off aging shingle roofing, installed high-temperature synthetic underlayment, flashed all solar mounting stanchions, and remounted and tested the solar array to peak generation capacity.

The Problem & Local Climate Challenge

Homeowners with rooftop solar face a major dilemma when their roof reaches the end of its lifespan: most solar companies do not perform roof replacements, and many roofing contractors refuse to touch solar panels. In this Carlsbad residence, the 18-year-old shingle roof began leaking around solar mounting penetrations, but the solar company estimated a 3-month turnaround time just to detach the panels.

Technical Solution & Engineering Execution

Rise Up solved this problem by providing a seamless, single-source solar and roofing solution. Our certified technicians safely disconnected and crated the 28 solar modules in one morning. Our roofing crew stripped the old roof, replaced sun-damaged decking, and installed a 50-year Owens Corning Duration roofing system with dual-seal flashing boots over every solar standoff. We then reinstalled the racking and panels, verified torque specifications, and conducted complete voltage string testing. The entire project was completed in just four days with zero downtime for the homeowner.
