FAQ
Commercial Solar Removal – Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy old commercial solar panels?
Yes. CRG Devco purchases used, damaged, or end-of-life solar panels from commercial properties. We handle all transport, documentation, and certified recycling. This reduces your disposal cost and speeds up your decommissioning schedule.
How fast can you remove a commercial solar array?
Most rooftop removals are completed in 1–3 days, depending on system size and roof conditions. We work around your operations and coordinate with your roofer, GC, or redevelopment team to keep everything moving without delays.
Do you remove racking, ballast, wiring, and inverters?
Yes. Our decommissioning includes full system teardown: panels, racking, ballast, rails, wiring, conduits, disconnects, inverters, and all rooftop attachments. We return the roof clean and ready for replacement or reuse.
Can you coordinate with my roofer or construction team?
Yes. Most commercial removals are tied to roof replacements or redevelopment. We coordinate directly with your roofer or GC to ensure the site is cleared safely, on time, and with no surprises.
Do I need to remove my solar panels to replace or repair my roof?
Yes. If your commercial roof is being repaired or replaced, the solar array must be removed first. CRG Devco handles the full removal process—panels, racking, ballast, wiring, and conduits—so your roofer can start immediately. We coordinate directly with your roofing contractor and the roof manufacturer to ensure all work complies with their requirements and your new roof warranty remains fully protected.
Can you reinstall the solar system after the new roof is completed?
Absolutely. Once the roofing work is finished and approved, we reinstall the solar array or design a new system if the existing one is outdated. Our team works with the roofing manufacturer to meet all attachment, sealing, and warranty standards. This ensures your new roof warranty stays intact while your system comes back online safely with upgraded wiring, new attachments, and full commissioning.
Will removing my solar panels void my existing roof warranty?
Not when CRG Devco handles the work. We coordinate directly with your roofing manufacturer and follow their exact specifications for removal, penetrations, attachments, and reinstall procedures. Every step is documented to maintain full roof warranty compliance. Most warranty issues occur when unqualified contractors touch the roof—our process eliminates that risk.
How do I know if my roof is too old to support a solar system?
Most commercial property owners call us because the roof is already leaking or failing under an older solar system. CRG Devco handles emergency solar panel removal so your roofer can access the damaged areas immediately. We clear panels, racking, ballast, and wiring fast — without causing further roof damage — and we coordinate directly with your roofing contractor and manufacturer to keep the new roof warranty fully protected. Once the roof is repaired or replaced, we reinstall or upgrade the solar system with all required documentation.
