Flower Mound hillside homes with 8:12 or greater pitch require anchored roof brackets and extended fall-arrest systems that go beyond standard residential equipment. We carry gear rated for pitches up to 12:12 and complete a rooftop safety assessment before mobilizing. Steep-pitch projects in Flower Mound are quoted individually after the site assessment — no flat per-panel pricing that ignores the actual difficulty.

DME operates as a municipal utility with its own interconnection agreement separate from Oncor. The disconnection request process requires a licensed electrician to submit directly to DME’s distribution department rather than through Oncor’s standard portal. Fernando Alegre’s master electrician license covers both CoServ and DME coordination. We have completed projects under both utilities and know the lead times for each.

Homes within a half-mile of Lewisville Lake experience elevated humidity levels year-round, which accelerates corrosion on aluminum mounting rails, stainless fasteners, and inverter enclosures. Our 42-point inspection includes a moisture assessment of mounting hardware on every lake-adjacent property in The Colony, Little Elm, and Flower Mound. Corroded fasteners that strip during removal create additional roof penetrations — identifying them before the project starts prevents expensive surprises.

Yes — and certified removal is even more critical on new systems. Builder-backed structural warranties in Little Elm and similar new-construction areas require that any work on the roof envelope, including solar removal, be performed by a certified contractor using manufacturer-specified procedures. Using an uncertified crew on a four-year-old system can void both the solar product warranty and the builder’s roof structure warranty simultaneously.

CoServ-served properties in Flower Mound follow standard Texas homeowner insurance procedures for hail damage. We document damage before any component is touched, produce a licensed electrician damage report, and work directly with your adjuster’s timeline. Because CoServ coordinates differently from Oncor for grid disconnection, we file the utility paperwork concurrently with the insurance documentation so neither process delays the other.

The Colony’s permitting office has added staffing since 2022, and standard electrical permits for solar removal are typically issued in 3–5 business days. We file permit applications the same day we receive your signed work authorization, so permit lead time runs in parallel with your roofing contractor’s schedule rather than adding to it. Same-day permit filing is standard on every Denton County project we run.

Enphase microinverter systems require individual disconnection at each module rather than a single string inverter shutdown, which adds time relative to a standard string system. We are Enphase certified and carry the Enphase toolkit required for proper module-level disconnection. For a 20-panel Enphase system in Lewisville, plan for one full day of removal with a two-person crew — we do not rush microinverter disconnection because a wiring error creates a fire risk.

A 16-panel removal and reinstallation in Lewisville typically runs $3,200–$4,800 at our standard $200–$300 per-panel rate. Flat-terrain homes in Lewisville are at the lower end of that range. We provide a written itemized quote before any work starts and hold that price through project completion — no change orders for conditions we should have identified during the site assessment.
