Typical Timeline
1 day for removal, 2-5 days for roofing, 1 day for reinstall. Total R&R downtime is typically 4-7 days.. NuWatt coordinates directly with your roofer so panel removal is complete the morning your roofer is ready to begin, and reinstallation starts the day your new roof passes inspection.
Heavy snowfall creates significant load on both roof and panel mounts
Ice dams are common and can trap water under panels at the roof edge
Extreme cold (below -20F) can stress mounting hardware and sealants
Spring freeze-thaw cycles accelerate roof aging around penetration points
Wind from mountain exposures can loosen panel racking over time
New Hampshire roofing contractors honor their warranty when panels are professionally removed by a licensed provider. NH homes often have steep-pitch roofs that require extra care during R&R. Make sure your R&R provider has experience with steep-slope work.
Manufacturer warranties are not affected by professional R&R. New Hampshire requires licensed electricians for solar electrical work. Panel and inverter manufacturers will honor their warranties as long as the disconnect and reconnect is performed by a qualified professional.
Important: Read Before Scheduling
If you have a leased solar system in New Hampshire, your lease provider must approve R&R before any work begins. Lease companies typically require 2-4 weeks of advance notice. Some have set R&R fees, while others allow you to use your own licensed contractor. NuWatt is approved by major lease companies and can handle the coordination.
Insurance & R&R Coverage
New Hampshire homeowner policies typically cover solar R&R as part of a storm-damage roof claim. NH sees significant hail, wind, and ice damage. Include the R&R cost in your initial insurance claim. NuWatt provides documentation for insurance purposes. Note: NH has no sales tax on the R&R service, which reduces your out-of-pocket costs.
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.
Do not let solar panels delay your roof replacement. NuWatt handles the entire remove-and-reinstall process so you can get your new roof on schedule and keep your solar system producing.
Free assessments available. Most projects scheduled within 1-2 weeks.
