Replacing the roof under a solar system in San Benito? RGV Solar removes your panels before the roofer starts and reinstalls them when the new roof is done.

Solar detach and reinstall in San Benito
San Benito sits between Harlingen and Brownsville in Cameron County. Because the county is in Texas's windstorm catastrophe area, we plan the reinstall around your roofer's windstorm inspection and keep you informed on both dates.
When you need your panels removed
- A roof replacement or major roof repair
- An insurance claim after hail or wind damage
- A leak, rot or decking repair under the array
- Relocating or redesigning the system
- Remodeling or adding onto the home
Why a licensed electrical contractor, not a roofer
A roofer is not a licensed electrician and should not disconnect or reconnect the electrical components of a solar system. Panels, wiring, inverters and rapid-shutdown equipment carry live current whenever the sun is up. RGV Solar's licensed crew shuts the system down safely, removes it, and reconnects it to code.
How we do it
- 01
Shutdown and safety check. We power the system down following manufacturer and utility procedures and document how it is performing before removal.
- 02
Labeled removal. Panels, rails and components are removed and labeled so everything goes back in place.
- 03
Safe storage. Panels are stored safely while the roof work is done.
- 04
Reinstallation with new wire. We reinstall the system and always run brand-new electrical wire. We never reuse the old wire.
- 05
Commissioning and testing. We commission the system and confirm it is producing.
- 06
Warranty. Our detach and reinstall work is backed by a 3-year RGV Solar warranty.
Insurance claims
When a roof replacement is covered by your homeowner's insurance, the cost to detach and reinstall the solar system is often included in the claim. Coverage depends on your policy. We provide the scope and documentation your adjuster and roofer need. Learn more on our insurance claims page.
Working with your roofer
We coordinate the removal date and the reinstall date directly with your roofing contractor so the roof crew is not waiting on us. RGV Solar also offers roof replacement, so one contractor can handle both if you prefer.
