Hail Season in DFW Hits Roofs With Solar Twice
North Texas sees frequent hailstorms, and when a roof with solar takes a hit, the claim usually covers two things: the roof, and the work to detach and reset the solar array so the roof can be replaced. If the panels were damaged too, replacement modules or parts may need to be added.
The detach and reset portion is easy to under-scope. Missing line items such as racking, flashing, wire management or damaged components can leave you paying out of pocket later.
Clear documentation from a solar specialist helps your roofer, adjuster and insurer see the full scope of the solar work.

Hail-Damaged Solar Panels
Hail damage on solar panels is not always visible from the ground. A cracked cell or broken glass can drag down an entire string, and the drop in production may only show up on your monitoring app weeks later.
During the detach we inspect each module and connector. If panels are damaged, we document them and can supply and install compatible replacements as part of the reset. For panels that cannot be reused, see our solar panel removal and disposal service. Replacing the roof? See solar panel removal for roof replacement.
What to do after a hailstorm
- Photograph the roof and panels from the ground
- Check your solar monitoring app for production drops
- Call your insurer to open a claim
- Book a solar inspection before the roofer starts

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about solar detach and reset on hail and storm claims. Still have a question? Call (469) 283-1089.
Does homeowners insurance cover solar panel detach and reset?
When a covered event like hail damages the roof and the roof must be replaced, the cost to detach and reset rooftop solar is often included in the claim. Coverage depends on your policy and your insurer’s decision, so review the scope with your insurer.
Do you work with my roofer and adjuster?
Yes. We coordinate the removal and reinstall schedule with your roofing contractor, and our supplement team provides documentation your roofer or adjuster can use to scope the solar work.
What if my solar panels were damaged by hail too?
We inspect each panel during the detach. Damaged modules and parts are documented with photos so they can be added to the claim, and we can install compatible replacements during the reset.
How soon after a storm should I call?
As soon as your claim is open. A pre-removal inspection documents storm damage before anything is moved, which keeps the record clean for your claim.
Is there a cost for the inspection?
