Your Solar System, Safely Moved

Whether you're re-roofing, extending, doing a loft conversion, or moving house, your solar panels need to come down — and they need to go back up again exactly right. We've removed and reinstalled hundreds of solar systems, and we've learned that the difference between a successful reinstallation and an expensive mistake is documentation. We label every panel with its roof position, photograph every connection, and store everything safely. When we come back, your system goes back together exactly as it was — or better, if the re-roofing work has created an opportunity to improve the layout.

Why Choose Our Removal & Reinstallation Service

Fully Labelled System

Every panel, every cable, every connection is labelled with position data before removal. We photograph the entire system pre-removal so reinstallation is an exact replica — not a guess.

Safe DC Isolation

Solar panel removal involves live DC voltage up to 600V+ on older systems. We carry out all work under strict safe-system-of-work procedures, with qualified electricians on every job.

Re-Roofing Ready

We coordinate with your roofer, remove panels and racking before the roofing work begins, store equipment safely, and return for reinstallation after your roofer has finished.

Loft Conversion Access

Loft conversions often require removing panels above the conversion area. We remove, move, or reconfigure the system to work around your conversion — and optimise the remaining array.

House Move Service

You can take your solar system when you move house. We remove it, transport it, and reinstall it at your new property — often a cost-effective upgrade path if the new property has a better-oriented roof.

MCS Recommissioning

After reinstallation, we fully recommission the system, test all connections, verify output, and issue updated documentation — including an MCS commissioning certificate for the new installation.

How It Works

Step 01

Pre-Removal Documentation

We photograph the entire system from multiple angles, label every panel with position coordinates, and document every electrical connection — so reinstallation is exact.

Step 02

Safe Isolation & Removal

Working under strict safe-system-of-work procedures with DC isolation confirmed, we disconnect all cabling and remove panels and racking systematically.

Step 03

Safe Storage

Removed panels are stacked on padded protection frames and stored safely on your property or at our Salford depot while your re-roofing or conversion work is completed.

Step 04

Reinstallation & Recommission

We reinstall the system in its documented positions, reconnect all cabling, and fully commission — verifying output and issuing updated documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — many modern solar systems are worth moving, particularly premium panels and battery systems. We remove, transport, and reinstall at your new property. The economics depend on panel age, condition, and the orientation of your new roof. We can assess this before you commit.
