1 day for removal, 2-5 days for roofing, 1 day for reinstall. Total R&R downtime is typically 4-7 days.

Expect 4-7 days of total downtime. We remove panels in about 1 day, roofing takes 2-5 days, and reinstallation takes 1 day. New Hampshire weather can extend the timeline if your roofer faces rain or snow delays. We stay flexible and coordinate closely with your roofing crew. Each day offline costs about $4-7 in lost production for a typical 22-panel NH system.
No, as long as a licensed electrician handles the disconnect and reconnect. Manufacturer panel warranties (25 years) and inverter warranties (12-25 years) remain valid through professional R&R. NuWatt is licensed in New Hampshire and provides its own workmanship warranty on reinstallation. We document the process with before-and-after photos and system test results.
In most NH lease agreements, the homeowner is responsible for R&R costs during a roof replacement. Your lease company must approve the work in advance, typically with 2-4 weeks notice. Some lease providers have their own set R&R fees ($2,000-$4,500). NuWatt is an approved contractor for most major lease companies and can handle the approval process on your behalf.
If the roof replacement is due to covered damage (wind, hail, ice, fallen tree), your homeowner insurance typically covers the R&R cost as part of the claim. Solar panels are considered attached structures. File a comprehensive claim that includes both the roof and the panel R&R. NuWatt provides detailed, itemized invoicing that insurance adjusters can process directly.
Yes. New Hampshire requires an electrical permit for disconnecting and reconnecting a solar system. This is separate from the building permit for the roof itself. NuWatt handles all electrical permitting and inspection scheduling. The permit cost is included in our flat-fee R&R pricing — no hidden charges.
NuWatt carries full commercial liability insurance. If we damage a panel during R&R, we replace it through our policy at no cost to you. We photograph every panel before removal to document pre-existing condition. This protection is a key reason to use a licensed, insured solar company for R&R rather than having your roofer remove the panels.
One call gets the entire project started. NuWatt coordinates your New Hampshire roofer and handles your solar panels so you don't have to juggle contractors.
