Removing and reinstalling solar panels

With Zoofy, removing (and later reinstalling) solar panels is booked from €69 per hour (incl. VAT). There are no call-out fees and pricing is transparent, so you know where you stand upfront.

The final total mainly depends on the number of panels, roof access, wiring, and whether everything needs to be disconnected and then reconnected and tested properly. For removal only, Zoofy mentions an average of €175 to €420; combining removal with reinstalling is typically higher because mounting, reconnecting, and testing are done again (often on a second visit).

Removing solar panels usually takes about 1.5 to 4 hours for a standard setup of 6 to 12 panels. Larger systems or difficult roof access can take longer.

For both removal and reinstalling, a practical estimate is often around 3 to 8 hours in total—frequently split into two appointments (removal first, reinstalling after roof work). The exact time depends on the number of panels, the mounting system, and how much calibration and testing is required.

An electrician makes sure your PV system is safely disconnected, neatly dismantled, and later reinstalled correctly. The job typically includes:

Preparation & inspection:
Reviewing the installation, planning safe work at height, and checking the inverter/wiring.

Safe disconnection:
Disconnecting panels from the mounting system and removing electrical connections carefully.

Removal & storage/transport:
Safely taking panels off the roof and leaving the area tidy.

Reinstall & reconnect:
Mounting the panels again, reconnecting wiring, and restoring the system.

Testing & handover:
Testing system operation (inverter/connection/output) and explaining what was done.

Zoofy screens electricians in advance for experience, skills, and customer satisfaction. You can read reviews from previous customers to book with confidence.

Transparent pricing and no call-out fees also help you plan the job without surprises.

After completion, you can stay in touch via Zoofy. By law, the electrician provides warranty on the work if something wasn’t done correctly.

For extra peace of mind, Zoofy also offers an optional paid warranty package. This is separate from the electrician’s legal warranty and provides additional coverage.
