What to do with the solar power system when repairing or replacing a roof?
Roof repairs or upgrades often require the part or full removal of a solar PV system to make way for work to be safely carried out.
This could be required for various reasons including:
- upgrades to the roof
- replacing damaged tiles or sections metal roofing
- cleaning a tiled roof
- repairs to the roofline
- asbestos removal
- truss repair
- roof repainting
- roofing additions or restructure
- storm damage repairs
Correct, professional removal of the solar PV system is essential for the safety of those working on, or living in the building. Moreton Bay Solar Air Electrical's expert solar electricians can work within your roof repair schedule to disconnect the system, remove the solar panels, mounting systems, and any electrical wiring to ensure the site is electrically safe and the solar components are not at risk of damage during the repairs. Once the job is complete, our team will reconnect your solar power system, replace all components, test and ensure your system up and operating again quickly.
Changes affecting an existing solar PV system
Adjustments or additions to the roof can sometimes affect the efficiency of the solar power system. Our electrical team can recommend the ideal repositioning with regard to any changes made to the roof line which may necessitate moving or changing the pitch of the panels. Other additions which may affect the solar system could be:
- a whirlybird
- a skylight
- roof extensions
- a chimney
- an exhaust
- a solar hot water system
Any large building projects or structural changes to properties adjacent to your home could also affect the amount of sun which reaches the panels, possibly reducing the power generation potential.
