Thinking about replacing your roof but not sure what happens to your solar panels?
It’s a question we get all the time, and completely fair enough. Your roof and your solar system are both big investments, so you want to know they’re looked after properly.
The good news? With the right team, it’s a smooth, well-managed process from start to finish.
Do solar panels need to be removed?
In most cases, yes.
To do the job properly, especially if you’re upgrading to a new metal roof, the panels need to come off temporarily. It means no shortcuts and a much better result long term.
And don’t worry, when handled by experienced professionals, your system is in safe hands.
How it all works
We keep things simple and take care of everything for you:
- Safe shutdown - Your solar system is carefully powered down and disconnected the right way
- Panel removal - Panels and mounting gear are removed with care and stored safely.
- New roof installation - Your old roof is replaced with a strong, durable metal roof built to last.
- Reinstall and test - Once the roof is complete, your solar panels go back on and are fully tested to make sure everything is running perfectly.
Who organises the solar side?
This is where having the right team really matters.
At Sunstate Roofing Services, we manage the entire process for you, from removal through to reinstallation. We work with trusted, qualified solar technicians to make sure everything is done safely and correctly.

Why a coordinated approach makes life easier
Trying to organise roofers and solar installers separately can quickly become a headache.
When it’s all managed together, you get:
- Less downtime without solar
- A smoother, faster job overall
- Confidence everything's been done properly
