Solar Detach and Reset Options for Orland Hills Homes
Before booking anything, it helps to know which kind of job you have, because each one carries slightly different paperwork. Here is the full list, with a note on what each involves.
Solar Panel Removal & Reinstallation (Detach & Reset)
The standard job: the system is shut down and disconnected, the modules, racking and conduit are removed and inventoried, everything is stored during the reroof, and the array is reinstalled on new mounts, reconnected and checked for production.
Insurance Claim Detach & Reset
For a roof claim that includes solar. You receive a line-by-line breakdown and photos for the detach and reset portion, timed to your roofer and the claim calendar, while every decision on the claim stays with you.
Detach & Reset for Roofing Contractors
For roofing companies who need the array cleared before tear-off and returned after the install, quoted per panel and scheduled around their crew.
Roof Replacement Under Solar Panels
For homeowners who would rather have the reroof and the solar planned as one sequence, with a single calendar covering removal, roofing and reinstall.
Solar Panel Critter Guard
A non-penetrating screen clipped along the array's border so pigeons, nesting and leaves cannot settle underneath.
Six Steps, Each One Scheduled in Advance
Start with a conversation
We ask about the roof work, the roofer and the target date, along with the approximate panel count and whether the system is owned, leased or on a power purchase agreement, since that last answer decides who else needs to be involved.
Look over the array
A visit to check the panels, mounts, wiring and roof surface, with photos taken and a production reading recorded so the reinstall has a clear benchmark.
Settle the quote and the paperwork
You receive a firm, itemized quote, usually within 48 hours. Permits are applied for where required, utility notices are noted where they apply, and a leasing company is brought in early if your agreement calls for it.
Remove and store
On the scheduled date the system is shut down and disconnected, then the modules, racking and conduit come off, each piece labeled against the layout and placed in protected storage.
Reroof and new attachments
Your roofer replaces the roof on an open deck, and once it is finished, fresh attachments are anchored and each opening is sealed into the replacement shingles.
Reinstall and confirm
Modules return to their original positions, the system is reconnected, inspected where required and compared against the earlier reading, and monitoring is restored before the file is closed.
Why Orland Hills Homeowners Leave the Solar Side to Us
Most of the stress in a solar reroof comes from not knowing what happens next. We take that away by planning each step, writing it down and keeping you informed along the way.
Handled carefully, stored securely
Every module and rail is tagged and warehoused away from bumps, damp and theft for as long as it is off the roof, then returned to its original spot.
Written records of the work
You receive documentation of the detach and reset labor and of each roof penetration we make, along with plain guidance on what your equipment makers expect during a removal.
A calendar shared with your roofer
Takedown is booked right before the strip, and the reinstall is slotted for the moment the shingles are finished, keeping the system offline for the shortest stretch we can manage.
Claim paperwork that helps
When hail or wind has put the roof on an insurance claim, you get written breakdowns and photos to submit through you or your roofer, and the claim remains entirely in your hands.
Solar Panel Removal in Orland Hills and the Surrounding Southwest Suburbs
Orland Hills is a compact village in southwest Cook County, tucked between Orland Park and Tinley Park, with 159th Street and LaGrange Road close at hand and I-80 a short drive south. Many of its homes, and many in the neighboring towns, added solar to roofs that have since been through years of Chicago-area winters, heavy snow loads and spring hail. When those roofs come due, the arrays have to come off first, and leased systems often add a call to the leasing company. We serve Orland Hills and the communities around it on both sides of the Will County line: Orland Park, Tinley Park, Mokena, Palos Park, Frankfort, Palos Heights, Homer Glen, Oak Forest, Worth and Palos Hills.
Leased systems are common here
Plenty of arrays in these subdivisions were installed under a lease or power purchase agreement. We help you work out who needs to sign off before removal.
Two counties, different offices
Towns on the Cook and Will County sides can handle permits differently. We check what your village requires before the schedule is set.

Orland Hills Questions About Solar and Reroofs
Clear answers to the questions that come up during almost every planning call.
What is a solar critter guard, and do I really need one?
It is a mesh screen clipped along the outer border of your array that stops birds, squirrels and litter from getting into the gap beneath the panels. If you have seen pigeons, nesting material or piles of leaves under your modules, it is worth it. Booking it with a detach and reset is the easiest route, because the modules are going back up anyway.
Can new solar mounts interfere with my new roof's warranty?
They should not when each mount is flashed into the new roofing and sealed to the roofing manufacturer's details, which is how we install them. Your roofer can confirm any specific terms on their side. Separately, the factory warranties from your panel and inverter makers stay in your name for the entire job.
Does a detach and reset void the warranty on my solar equipment?
A careful takedown and reinstall is planned so that you, the homeowner, keep every factory warranty that came with your panels and inverter. Those warranties belong to the manufacturers and to you, and we handle the equipment with that in mind from power-down to rewiring.
Pigeons or squirrels have moved in beneath my panels. How do I evict them?
First the existing nests and debris need to be cleared from beneath the array, and then the gap has to be closed so they cannot return. That is exactly what a critter guard installation does: we clean out what we can reach, then fit non-penetrating mesh around the perimeter.
How much will it cost to remove and reinstall my solar panels?
The price depends on the number of panels, the pitch and layout of the roof, the wiring setup and whether a component has to be swapped. We quote after seeing the array, and you receive a firm, itemized number, usually within 48 hours of the visit.
Where are the panels kept while my roof is replaced?
In protected storage, with every module, rail and piece of hardware labeled and recorded on an inventory sheet. Each one is kept safe from impact, moisture and theft until the new roof is ready and it returns to its original position.
Will homeowners insurance pay to remove and reinstall the panels during a roof claim?
No one can promise that in advance, because it comes down to your policy terms and the adjuster's decision. What we can do is supply an itemized detach and reset estimate plus photos for you or your roofer to file, so the solar portion is clearly documented.
Are the flashing and mounts replaced when the panels go back on?
Yes. The old attachments come off with the old roof, and new mounts with fresh flashing are installed at every point where the array meets the new roofing. Each one is checked before a panel covers it.
Will my system need upgrades like rapid shutdown when it is reinstalled?
Sometimes. If the village requires a permit for the reinstall, the building department may expect newer safety equipment, rapid shutdown being the usual example. If that applies, we explain what is needed and include it in the quote before any work begins.
