Sky Shield
Confirm ownership and authority first
The occupant, property owner, solar account holder, and equipment owner may be different people. Gather the purchase, loan, lease, or power purchase agreement; equipment and installation documents; service history; monitoring information; roof records; and any association requirements before scheduling work.
Homeowner Guidance
Assign every responsibility in writing
The project documents should identify who handles system shutdown, any required electrical work, panel and mount removal, labeling, storage, temporary protection, roofing, roof penetrations, reset, inspections or utility coordination, monitoring review, and final records. Each company should state what it will and will not perform.
What to know
- Panel layout, equipment condition, and monitoring status documented before work
- Removal, storage, access, security, and weather contingencies assigned
- Deck evaluation and roof-penetration approach included in the roofing scope
- Roofing, solar, electrical, and equipment warranty roles kept separate
- Reset, required approvals, monitoring review, and final documents completed
Sky Shield
Coordinate the roof before the panels return
Confirm which roof areas will be exposed, how concealed deck conditions will be approved, which manufacturer requirements affect the roof system, and who decides the roof is ready for panel reset. Keep labeled product records and completion photos with the property file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for homeowners
Do I need my solar agreement before planning roof work?
It is helpful. Ownership, lease, lender, provider, equipment, warranty, and approval terms may affect who can authorize work and which steps apply. Gather the current documents before scheduling.
Should one company be listed for every solar and roofing task?
Not necessarily. Responsibilities vary by project. The important step is to assign every task to the appropriate party in writing and identify any work that requires another qualified provider.
Does the roofing warranty also cover the solar equipment?
No single warranty should be assumed to cover every part of the project. Roofing materials, roofing workmanship, solar equipment, solar reinstallation, roof penetrations, and electrical work may have different providers and written terms.
