The problem nobody would own

The company that installed the solar panels went out of business. The roof under the array needed replacing, and a roof with panels on it is the job most roofers walk away from. This one started there.

March 2. The array still bolted to the roof it outlived.

Panels off

Harnessed and roped, the crew unbolted the array and moved it off the roof. The mounts stayed in the old shingles — they came off with the tear-off.

The finish

By the end of the build day the new roof was on — dormers, valleys, ridge lines, all of it photographed from the air before the panels returned.

Panels back on

Two days later the same panels went back up onto the new shingles. Later that month, the homeowner's mortgage company sent its own independent inspector to review the finished work. It passed.
