Are you wondering if we can restore a roof with solar panels?
The simple answer is yes! In fact, it’s one the most frequently asked questions we get asked by homeowners.
We explain more below.
Can you restore a roof that has solar panels?
When it comes to restoring a roof the has solar panels, there are two options.
1. Have them removed prior to the work and re-installed once the roof restoration is complete.
2. Have them covered with plastic and taped up. The roof is then restored but the area under the solar panels is not painted.
We find the second option is the most common.
Restoring a Roof with Solar Panels
When our technicians restore a roof that has solar panels it doesn’t change the price.
In terms of the process, the only other task we have to complete is cover up the panels with plastic prior to applying any coatings.
IMPORTANT NOTE : JMZ Roof Restorations will not remove the panels prior to a restoration. If you wish to have them removed, you will need to contact an electrician or solar installation company.

Should a Roof be Restored Prior to Solar Panel Installation?
Ideally, if you have the luxury of time, it is always best to have the brackets for the solar panels installed first.
By having the brackets in before the restoration the membrane is not being disturbed or drilled into after the roof has been coated.
We then restore the roof and the panels can be installed after 14 days – allowing for the full cure time of the membrane before panel installation.
This way the whole roof is the one colour and protected.
If you’ve been considering adding solar panels (or upgrading your home’s solar capabilities) – now is the time to also evaluate whether a roof restoration should be done.
