Colorado Solar Detach & Reset + Roof Replacement
Colorado Got Hit. If You Have Solar and a Damaged Roof, We've Got You Covered.
Colorado's Front Range sits in the heart of "Hail Alley" — one of the most hail-prone regions in the country. Every storm season, thousands of homeowners discover roof damage that needs a full replacement. But if you have solar panels on that roof, the job just got more complicated.
Your panels have to come off before a new roof goes on — and back on afterward, correctly. Done wrong, a reinstall can damage your system, create leaks at the roof penetrations, or void warranties. That's where Solar Wave comes in. We handle the solar side from start to finish and coordinate the entire project alongside our trusted roofing partners, so you're not left juggling contractors during an already stressful time.
1. Start With A Free Hail Damage Inspection
Free — no cost, no obligation
A comprehensive roof-and-solar inspection to document any storm or hail damage. Together with our roofing partners, we'll assess:
- Roof surface, shingles, and flashing for hail and storm damage- Solar panel condition and any impact damage
- Mounting hardware and roof penetrations
After the inspection, you'll have a clear picture of what's needed — and we'll help you take the next step.
2. We Help You File Your Insurance Claim
Most hail-damage roof replacements are covered by homeowners' insurance
Storm damage claims can be confusing, especially with solar involved. Solar Wave and our roofing partners work together to document the damage thoroughly and help you file your insurance claim — giving you the best chance at full coverage for both the roof and the solar work it requires.
- Detailed damage documentation for your claim- Support filing with your insurance carrier
- Coordination between roofing and solar scopes
- No pushy storm-chasers knocking on your door
3. Solar Detach & Reset

- Complete reinstallation and recommissioning
- Proper resealing of all roof penetrations

4. Roof Replacement Through Certified Local Partners
Quality roofing, coordinated for you
We've spent years working alongside our certified local roofing partners, and we trust them on our own customers' homes. When you go through Solar Wave, you skip the stress of vetting roofing companies and dodging out-of-town storm chasers.
Here's how it works:
- Our roofing partner coordinates directly with you on all roofing specifics and works with your insurance- Solar Wave becomes your single point of contact for everything solar
- Both teams schedule and sequence the job together so it flows smoothly
- You get proven, local craftsmanship — not a fly-by-night crew
5. Backed By Real Workmanship Warranties
Protection on every part of the job — roof and solar
When you go through Solar Wave, both the roof and the solar installation are backed by solid workmanship coverage.
Roofing partner warranty: Our certified roofing partners stand behind their work with up to a 25-year workmanship warranty on Class C shingle installations, including ice and water barrier installation for added protection against Colorado's freeze-thaw and storm conditions.
Solar Wave warranty: We provide a 10-year limited workmanship warranty covering all aspects of the reattach service — including wiring connections and roof penetrations we complete.
Here's the key advantage: because we work so closely with our roofing partners, our reattach work will not void your roofer's warranty. The two teams coordinate so all of your coverage stays intact — something a random solar crew can't promise.
6. Ongoing System Monitoring (Optional)
$5/month — billed annually at $60/year
Lost touch with your original installer? You're not alone. Our optional monitoring keeps an eye on your system so problems get caught early — especially valuable for homeowners whose original solar company is no longer around.
- Real-time performance monitoring- Alert if your system goes offline or underperforms
- Annual check-in summary
- First call when something needs attention
