Whether you need to temporarily remove your solar panels for a roof project or are prepared to permanently retire your system, WDM Contracting simplifies the procedure stress-free, safe, and effective. In addition to handling everything from permits to patchwork, we will remove, store, reinstall, or discard your panels with complete service in one call.
If you’re planning to permanently remove your system — instead of reinstalling it — you may need full decommissioning instead.
Whether you're rebuilding your roof, making home improvements, or relocating panels, our removal and reinstallation method is intended to safeguard your system while also ensuring that it is reinstalled cleanly, safely, and completely operational when the work is completed.

We start with a site visit to inspect your system’s current layout, roof type, access points, inverter location, racking hardware, and wiring. Then we map out a safe removal plan and coordinate timing with your roofer or contractor.
Our technicians isolate your system from the grid following all NEC and utility requirements. We ensure safe shutdown of all live wires, battery systems (if present), and disconnects.

Every panel, wire, and component is labeled before disassembly to ensure perfect reconstruction later. We also photograph the array, conduit paths, and electrical settings for reference.
We carefully remove your panels, racking, and (if scoped) associated components like inverters, optimizers, or conduit. All hardware is stored securely — either on-site or in transport-safe packaging.
While your other contractors do their work, we remain available to coordinate timing and answer questions. If roofers need deck repair or layout changes, we can adjust the reinstall plan.
Once your roof is complete, we reinstall all solar components in the correct configuration — with updated flashings, waterproof seals, and new fasteners as needed. We reconnect the system, test production, and verify monitoring platforms are working. You’ll receive a final walkthrough and system report.

Not necessarily. As long as we have safe access to your roof and electrical equipment, our team can handle the full removal and reinstall. We’ll coordinate access and keep you updated throughout the process.
Yes — in many cases, performance actually improves due to better wiring, cleaner panels, or upgraded components. We test the system and verify production before calling the job done.
We’ll flag any damaged or underperforming panels during removal. You can choose to replace just a few, upgrade your inverter, or explore a system repower. We’ll walk you through all options.
Absolutely. Many homeowners use this as a chance to add panels, battery storage, install critter guards, or improve monitoring. Just let us know — we’ll tailor your reinstallation plan to fit.
