A Solar R&R Partner Built for Roofing Contractors

Every roof replacement or repair that runs into solar panels turns into a scheduling problem, a liability question, or both. Renew Solar Services works directly with roofing contractors across Long Island to remove that problem from your job — safely taking panels down before you start, and putting them back correctly once your work is done, so a solar system on the roof never has to mean a delay, a callback, or a risk you’re carrying alone.

You’re Already Handling This — We Make It Safer and Faster

Plenty of roofing companies have started handling solar removal themselves rather than dealing with an unreliable outside vendor, and that’s a reasonable call when the alternative is a sub who shows up late or doesn’t know what they’re doing. But removing and reinstalling solar panels involves live electrical components, manufacturer-specific mounting hardware, and system documentation that has to be done correctly the first time — get it wrong, and you’re the one explaining a damaged system or a voided warranty to the homeowner, not us.

Partnering with Renew means your crew stays focused on the roof, not on panels and wiring, while the removal and reinstall is handled by someone who does it as a specialty, not a side task.

How the Partnership Works

We keep this simple and built around your schedule, not ours:

  1. You flag a job that needs solar removed before roof work can start.
  2. We coordinate directly with you on timing — the goal is to work around your schedule, not the other way around.
  3. We safely remove the system, documenting and protecting every component for reinstallation.
  4. You complete your roofing work with a clear roof.
  5. We reinstall the system and verify it’s functioning properly before we’re done.

What You Get as a Partner

  • ✔️ Direct coordination with a company that treats roofers as a priority relationship, not an afterthought — you’re working with the people doing the job, not a call center.
  • ✔️ A streamlined process for requesting and quoting removal/reinstall work, so getting a job scheduled doesn’t turn into a week of back-and-forth.
  • ✔️ Licensed, experienced handling — Renew is led by a Master Electrician with an IBEW Local 3 apprenticeship background and years of hands-on solar and electrical work, not a general contractor subcontracting the electrical part out.
  • ✔️ Renew is led by a Master Electrician who also serves as President of the Long Island Solar Industry Association (LISIEA) — someone with a direct hand in shaping solar policy on Long Island, not just installing it.
  • ✔️ A specialty, not a side job — solar removal and reinstallation is one of Renew’s named service lines, with a dedicated process for it, not something handled between other jobs.

A Partnership Built to Last, Not a One-Off Job

We’d rather be the R&R partner you call every time a job needs it than a one-time vendor. Working with the same roofing company repeatedly means we already understand how your crew operates and what your customers expect — which makes every job after the first one faster and smoother for you. If solar R&R comes up regularly in your work, we’re set up to be the team you keep coming back to.

Serving Roofing Contractors Across Long Island

We work with roofing contractors throughout Nassau and Suffolk County, coordinating removal and reinstall on jobs of any size — from a single panel blocking a repair to a full system coming off for a roof replacement.
