Safe Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall for Pilot Point Homes — The Light Group USA
Pilot Point solar removal specialists — typical project: 5-7 days from panel-down to panel-up, warranty intact.
Solar removal in Pilot Point: the trade your roofer can't do
The Pilot Point roofing market is unusually busy this year because two waves are hitting at once: aging 2005-2018-construction roofs and 2020-2024 hail-claim repairs. Pilot Point insurance carriers paid out the highest rate of roof claims in Denton County during the 2023 hail season. Letting your Pilot Point roofer handle the panels exposes the homeowner to liability, voids warranties, and can create permitting issues on the CoServ reconnection paperwork. After Imelda swept through, panel reinstall jobs in Pilot Point prioritized inspection of every flashing point and racking attachment. CoServ's permitting and reconnection process in Pilot Point is among the smoothest — usually 1 week from inspection to re-energization. We schedule Pilot Point removals one calendar day ahead of the roofer's start, store panels at our DeSoto facility, and reinstall 24-48 hours after the new roof closes in.
Solar in Pilot Point: common questions
Is it safe to have my Pilot Point roofer remove the panels?
Pilot Point roofing contractors typically refuse to handle the panels — and that's the right answer. Texas electrical code reserves panel disconnect/reconnect work for licensed electricians — roofers are explicitly outside that scope. Our team coordinates with your roofer's schedule — removal day-before tear-off, reinstall 24-48 hours after the last shingle is down. Total project window for Pilot Point is typically 5-7 working days from panel-down to panel-up.
Should I add a battery while my Pilot Point panels are off?
Frequently — and the math leans heavily in favor. Microinverter swaps (Enphase IQ7 → IQ8, or string-inverter retrofits to Enphase) are easiest during removal — the labor that's most expensive is already covered. Pilot Point homeowners commonly use this window to add 13.5-27 kWh of battery storage so they can ride out ERCOT events without paying for a separate dedicated install later.
How many days will my solar be down during a Pilot Point reroof?
We complete most Pilot Point removals in 4-6 hours of on-site work. On reinstall day, plan for 6-8 hours including final commissioning and CoServ reconnect notice. We coordinate panels-off the day before the roofing crew arrives and panels-back-on within 24-48 hours of the new roof closing in. Most Pilot Point reroof projects run 3-5 working days for the roofer; we book panels-off the day before and panels-back-on 24-48 hours after the last shingle is laid. Disconnect and reconnect notices to CoServ are filed by our team; the interconnection agreement carries through the project.
