Cartwright reroof + solar — the schedule and the scope
After Winter Storm Uri (Feb 2021) pushed Cartwright insurers into a wave of roof replacements, panel removal demand spiked across Grayson County. Insurance-driven re-roofs in Cartwright have a tight window for panel removal because the carrier's deadline pressure pushes roofers to start fast. The May 2024 DFW hailstorm dropped 2-3" hail across Grayson County and triggered the largest single-event roof-replacement wave in Cartwright's recent history. Removal is the cheapest possible window to upgrade panels — if your Cartwright array is 8+ years old, swapping to higher-efficiency modules during reinstall avoids paying twice for labor. Oncor net-metering paperwork is part of our scope — homeowner signature once, we handle filings, scheduling and re-energization. Our team coordinates the Cartwright schedule with your roofer, handles secure storage at our DeSoto facility, and reinstalls within 24-48 hours of the new roof completing.
Solar in Cartwright: common questions
Why won't my Cartwright roofer touch the solar panels?
Roofers in Cartwright will not handle the array — Texas electrical code prevents it and warranties penalize it. Texas electrical code reserves panel disconnect/reconnect work for licensed electricians — roofers are explicitly outside that scope. We work backward from your roofer's start date in Cartwright — typical removal happens 1 day prior, reinstall 24-48 hours post-completion. Total project window for Cartwright is typically 5-7 working days from panel-down to panel-up.
Can I swap my panels for newer ones during a Cartwright reroof?
Often yes. If your panels are 8+ years old, removal is the cheapest possible time to add a battery (Enphase IQ or Tesla Powerwall), upgrade to higher-efficiency panels, or replace failing microinverters. Re-running wires while everything is down costs nothing extra.
How many days will my solar be down during a Cartwright reroof?
We complete most Cartwright removals in 4-6 hours of on-site work. Reinstall is 6-8 hours plus testing and Oncor reconnection filings. Roofer pace dictates total Cartwright project length — typical 3-5 working days for tear-off and reshingle. Our schedule: panels off the morning before tear-off, panels back on within 24-48 hours of the roofer's last shingle. We file the Oncor disconnect and reconnect paperwork directly so the homeowner's interconnection stays continuous.

When a home in Cartwright, TX requires roof replacement, storm repair, or structural work, solar panels must be removed before construction begins.
