Solar Panel Removal Service
Spennymoor

We will assess the location and condition of your solar panels and create a plan for their safe removal. We'll also discuss any concerns or questions you may have about the process.

We undertake the following steps when assessing and planning the movement of a solar panel system.

Location Assessment: The first step in the assessment and planning process is to evaluate the location of your solar panels. This includes examining the type of roof or structure on which the panelling is installed, as well as the accessibility of the area. A good solar panel removal company will also consider any potential hazards in the surrounding area, such as power lines or trees. It might be that your solar system is in an unusual area, or its off site.

As an experienced local utility company, we have seen all manner of setups when it comes to solar power, and you can trust us to evaluate what you need.

Condition Assessment: The next step is to evaluate the condition of your solar panels. This includes checking for any damage, wear and tear, or signs of degradation. We also evaluate the age and type of your panelling to determine the best approach for their removal. If there is serious damage, it might be better to replace the system. We will advise you on the cost to remove the current system, and the cost of a new installation; as well as being happy to undertake this work.

Plan Creation: Based on the location and condition assessments, the solar panel removal company will create a plan for the safe removal of your panels. This plan will take into consideration factors such as the size and weight of the panelling, the type of mounting hardware used, and the accessibility of the area.

A reliable plan will also include details on the equipment and tools needed for the removal, as well as any safety measures that need to be taken. Also, if you are looking to benefit from the feed in tariff system and selling off excess energy to the National Grid, we can advise on the cost and expected return of this process. For many people, the cost of a new installation is more than justified with the return on offer, making the cost to remove panelling a price people are willing to pay.

Discussion of Concerns: During the planning process, the solar panel removal company will discuss any concerns or questions you may have about the removal process. This may include questions about the impact on your roof or structure, the disposal of the panels, or any other concerns you may have. We work with you to address any concerns and ensure that you feel comfortable with the removal process.

Overall, the assessment and planning service provided by Panelit Solar is designed to ensure that your solar panels are safely and efficiently removed. By evaluating the location and condition of your panelling and creating a detailed removal plan, we can minimise the risk of damage or injury during the installation removal process.

By discussing any concerns or questions you may have, we provide you with peace of mind and ensure that you are comfortable as we remove solar panels, or individual parts.

We will disconnect your solar panelling from the electrical grid and plumbing systems as needed. Our process is as follows:

Turn off the Power: The first step in disconnecting solar panels is to turn off the power supply. This can be done by turning off the main switch or breaker on the inverter that is connected to the solar panel array. It is important to make sure that the power is off to prevent any electrical accidents.

Check the Connections: Once the power is off, the solar panel fitter will check the connections between the solar panels and the inverter. We will ensure that there are no loose or damaged connections that could cause problems during the disconnection process.

Remove the Connectors: The solar panel fitter will then carefully remove the connectors that are attached to the solar panelling. These connectors are usually located at the back of the solar panels and are connected to the wires that run to the inverter. This is often a delicate process, and it is vital that panelling and features like circuit breakers are dealt with carefully. Our experienced team will ensure your property is cared for to the highest standard.

Disconnect the Wires: Once the connectors are removed, the solar panel fitter will disconnect the wires that run from the solar panels to the inverter. This makes sure that these wires are not damaged during the disconnection process.

Remove the Mounting Hardware: The solar panel fitter will then remove the mounting hardware that is holding the solar panels in place. This may include screws, brackets, or other hardware that is used to secure the panelling to the roof or other structure.

Once the hardware is removed, a good solar panel installer will carefully lift the solar panels off of the roof or structure. They will make sure that the panels are lifted evenly to prevent any damage.

Preparation: Before the panelling can be lifted, the Panelit Solar team will prepare the area to ensure a safe and efficient removal. This includes clearing any debris or obstacles from the work area and setting up safety equipment, such as harnesses and safety lines.

Removal of Mounting Hardware: We will carefully remove the mounting equipment holding the solar panels in place. This may include screws, brackets, or other hardware that is used to secure the panels to the roof or other structure.

Lifting Process: Once the hardware is removed, the Panelit Solar team will begin the lifting process. We will use specialist equipment, such as cranes or hoists, to carefully lift the panels off of the roof or structure, if necessary. During the lifting process, the team will make sure that the panels are lifted evenly to prevent any damage.

Loading and Transport: After the panels are lifted off of the roof or structure, we will carefully load them onto a truck or trailer for transport to the desired location. We take considerable care to secure the entire system properly during transport to prevent any damage.

Disposal or Recycling: Once the panels have been transported to the desired location, Panelit Solar will dispose of or recycle them in an environmentally responsible manner. Depending on the type and condition of the panels, they may be recycled or refurbished for reuse.

Removal of Solar Panels: Our team will carefully remove your solar panels, using the appropriate tools and equipment. We will ensure the panels are handled safely and that there is no damage to your property.

Assessment of Panels: When we remove your old solar panels, we will first assess the condition of the panelling to determine the most appropriate disposal method. If the system is in good condition, it may be refurbished for reuse, while panels that are damaged or no longer functional will be disposed of or recycled.

If there are signs of panel failure, or the panelling doesn't gather as much solar power as expected, we can advise on the best course of action.

Disposal: Panelit Solar will dispose of your old solar panels in an environmentally-friendly manner, ensuring that they are not sent to a landfill. We follow recommended regulations for disposing of electronic waste, including any hazardous materials.

Compliance and Documentation: Panelit Solar ensures that all recycling is done in compliance with local and national regulations, and provides documentation to customers verifying the responsible disposal and recycling of their old solar panels.

Site Clean-Up: After we've removed your solar panels, we'll ensure that your site is left clean and tidy. As you'd expect, there is a lot of mess when you remove and reinstall solar power panels, but as a trusted solar installer, we make sure everything looks great before we finish.

Just because you are removing solar panel systems doesn't mean you are necessarily finished with a solar energy system. We often remove solar panels to then reinstall solar panels shortly after clients, and there are many valid reasons for doing so.

Roof Repair or Replacement: One of the most common reasons for removing and reinstalling solar panels is to perform repairs or replace the roof. This is necessary when the roof is damaged or outdated and requires repair work or upgrades before you can use solar panels.

Alternatively, you might hire a roofing company to install a new roof, and you require the removal and reinstallation around this roofing project. We are more than happy to work around the schedule of your roofing company to have solar panels removed and then reinstalled at a later date. This is true for domestic work and all commercial projects.

Renovations or Remodelling: If a homeowner wants to remodel or renovate their home, they may need to remove the solar panels temporarily to make structural changes, such as adding or removing walls or windows. A roofing company dealing with problems like a flat roof, a standing seam roof or even satellite dishes on your property are unlikely to be happy dealing with solar equipment.

This necessitates you to remove and reinstall solar panels, which is why reinstalling solar panels is a lot more common than you'd think. At Panelit Solar, we are skilled solar installers, and we are more than happy to reinstall solar panels for any reason at your current home.

Upgrading Solar Panels: Another reason to remove and reinstall solar panels is to upgrade them. Homeowners in Spennymoor may choose to upgrade to more efficient panels or to add more panels to increase the system's capacity.

Moving to a New Home: If a homeowner is moving to a new home, they may want to take their solar panels with them. Removing and reinstalling the panels is necessary to transfer the system to the new property.

Change in Ownership: Sometimes, homeowners may sell their homes and want to take their solar panels with them.

Maintenance: Periodic maintenance of solar panels is essential to keep them running efficiently. Removing and reinstalling the panels allows for proper cleaning, inspection, and maintenance.

Damage to Panels: If extreme weather, vandalism, or other reasons damage solar panels, they may need to be removed and replaced. If the energy efficiency of your solar installation isn't as effective as it was, or you don't generate electricity like you used to

Changes in Sunlight Exposure: If trees or other structures have grown taller and are now shading the solar panels, they may need to be removed and reinstalled in a new location to optimise sunlight exposure.
