    For the removals and re-installs, do you require permission from the current solar company and if they are out of business, then what?

    We follow the same procedures that Joshua has delineated; a demo permit for the panels and electrical equipment that includes an electrical inspection to verify equipment removal and safety, an active roofing permit, and a new solar permit.

    Removals require a demolition permit so we can verify proper removal of all the electrical components and restoration of roof structure.rnrnIf we are doing a reinstall of the same system (ie for a roof being re-done), we require a solar permit, with pictures of the existing system and components. Then after roof is completed we come out to verify same components / configuration and that the electrical hookup is done correctly.rnrnIf doing a reinstall of a solar system after taking one down we require a brand new solar permit even if using the same electrical component. We would want to see extent of new install, configuration, connection, etc.

    We process them as a demolition , Minor permit as long as the same system is re-installed in the same location with the same materials. rnotherwise a new permit would be required for an install.
