Solar Panel Removal & Reinstall in California

California carries roughly a third of all residential rooftop solar capacity in the country. After the Net Billing Tariff (the policy commonly called NEM 3.0) took effect in April 2023, attachment rates for batteries jumped sharply, but the existing installed base of pre-NEM 3.0 systems is exactly what runs into the reroof problem first. ReGrid Energy operates in California through Pasha Construction (CSLB 1071236), serving Orange County, San Diego, and the greater Los Angeles area for solar detach and reset on those legacy systems and on newer NBT installs alike.

We do the solar removal, the panel and rack staging, and the reinstall, while your roofer or your homeowner runs the actual roof scope. Every job is photo-documented from disconnect through production restart. In coastal zip codes we use marine-grade hardware on the reset, and in the wildfire rebuild corridors we coordinate carefully with Class A roof assemblies and the local AHJ. Crews work all three SoCal counties from a single dispatch board, so a roofer running jobs in Newport Beach, La Jolla, and Sherman Oaks can use one partner across the whole footprint.

California's roofing landscape is split sharply by zip code. Coastal homes inside about a mile of the ocean fight salt corrosion on every metal component, which is why anything we re-flash or re-rack near La Jolla, Newport, or Manhattan Beach goes back with marine-grade aluminum. Inland Orange County and the San Fernando Valley lean heavily toward concrete S-tile, while the foothill rebuild zones from the Palisades and Eaton fires are mostly new construction with all-electric loads and battery-paired arrays. NBT export rates are low enough that re-permitting through SCE, SDG&E, or LADWP after a reset is a step we do not want to trigger lightly, so we keep the reinstall scope clean and within the original interconnection.
