Solar Removal Specialists in Frisco — Coordinated, Certified, Continuous Net-Meter
Frisco panel removal & reinstallation — the specialist work your roofer can't (and won't) do.
How removal and reinstall works for Frisco roof projects
Frisco's position in Collin County means most homes here are either inside the asphalt-shingle replacement window or recovering from a hail-claim re-roof. Most Frisco re-roof projects need panel removal scheduled 1-2 days before the roofing crew arrives. Hurricane Ike in 2008 hit Collin County with Cat-2 winds, ripping panels (or what passed for panels back then) and shingles together — the modern reinstall protocol traces back to lessons from Ike. Hurricane damage in 2017-2024 forced reinstalls across Collin County after Winter Storm Uri (Feb 2021) — wind-lifted panels, damaged racking, or roof-deck punctures all required full removal and assessment. We handle the Oncor disconnect and reconnect notifications directly — your net-meter agreement stays continuous through the project. Our team coordinates the Frisco schedule with your roofer, handles secure storage at our DeSoto facility, and reinstalls within 24-48 hours of the new roof completing.
Solar in Frisco: common questions
Do I need a separate solar contractor in Frisco for the panel removal?
Almost no roofer in Frisco will agree to handle the panels — and the few that do should be avoided. 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 Frisco — typical removal happens 1 day prior, reinstall 24-48 hours post-completion. Total project window for Frisco is typically 5-7 working days from panel-down to panel-up.
Should I upgrade my system during removal in Frisco?
Yes — and the savings are larger than most Frisco homeowners expect. Microinverter swaps (Enphase IQ7 → IQ8, or string-inverter retrofits to Enphase) are easiest during removal — the labor that's most expensive is already covered. Re-pulling wires through the racking while the panels are off adds zero incremental cost.
What's the project length for a Frisco reroof with solar?
Removal time on Frisco systems averages 4-6 hours for the typical 5-8 kW array. Our schedule: panels off the morning before tear-off, panels back on within 24-48 hours of the roofer's last shingle. Reinstall takes 6-8 hours including system testing and Oncor interconnection paperwork. Project end-to-end depends on roofer schedule — 3-5 working days for tear-off + new shingles is the Frisco norm. Oncor net-meter paperwork is part of our scope — homeowner doesn't have to call the utility once.
What Frisco homeowners should know about their solar
Real, local context for keeping a solar system healthy in Frisco, Collin County.
Oncor is the wires utility for Collin County. Texas is deregulated, so there is no statewide net metering — your solar export credit depends on your retail electricity plan, not the utility.
At Frisco’s ~4.9 peak sun hours, a typical 7 kW system produces roughly 10,000 kWh/year. If yours is running well below that, it’s worth a service check.
North Texas “Hail Alley” — severe spring thunderstorms with large hail and occasional tornadoes.
Frisco Development Services (Building Inspections) handles online permitting via eTRAKiT (972-292-5301). Home of “The Star,” the Dallas Cowboys’ 91-acre World Headquarters and practice facility, opened August 2017.
