Solar replacement & upgrades

From single components to full system replacement

Find in your area

Replacing or upgrading part of your system—or the whole thing—requires the right installer. We connect you with local pros for panel replacement, inverter and battery swaps, system expansion, and removal-reinstall when needed.

Solar equipment doesn't last forever. Inverters often need replacement after 10–15 years; panels may need upgrading or replacement due to age, damage, or the desire for higher efficiency. You might also need to remove and reinstall your system for roof work or relocation.

Local replacement and upgrade specialists can handle single-component replacement—such as a failed inverter or damaged panel—or full system replacement and expansion. They can also perform removal and reinstall so your array is safely taken down and put back up when the job is done. We help you find these providers in your area so you can get quotes and plan your replacement or upgrade with confidence.

When to consider solar replacement

  • Your inverter has failed or is near end of life and you want a replacement.
  • One or more panels are damaged or underperforming and need replacement.
  • You want to add more panels or a battery to your existing system.
  • You're replacing your roof or relocating and need removal and reinstall.
  • You want to upgrade to higher-efficiency panels or newer technology.

When to replace vs. repair

Not every problem requires full replacement. A single failed panel or inverter can often be replaced while keeping the rest of the system. Repair may be the right choice when the issue is isolated and parts are available. Full or partial replacement makes sense when equipment is obsolete, repeatedly failing, or when you want to increase capacity or efficiency. A local provider can assess your system, explain options, and give you a clear comparison of repair versus replacement so you can decide based on cost, reliability, and your long-term goals.

Solar replacement and upgrade options

Replacement and upgrade services include solar panel replacement (single panels or full array), residential and commercial; inverter replacement (microinverter, string inverter, or hybrid); and solar battery replacement or addition. System upgrades might involve adding panels, upgrading to more efficient panels, or expanding battery storage. For roof or structural work, removal and reinstall services take down your array safely, store or protect components, and reinstall once the work is complete. We help you find local pros who offer these services so you can get accurate quotes and timelines for your project.

Planning a solar removal and reinstall

If you're redoing your roof, doing major structural work, or relocating, you'll need a qualified team to remove your solar system and reinstall it afterward. The process typically includes disconnection, careful removal of panels and racking, labeling and storage of equipment, and then reinstallation and recommissioning once the underlying work is done. Proper removal and reinstall protect your equipment and preserve your warranty. We connect you with local providers who specialize in this work so you can schedule the job and avoid delays to your roof or construction project.
