Removing Solar Panel for Shingle Repair in Portland, Oregon

Servicing a Solar System We Didn't Install Originally

When Matt, a homeowner in Portland, Oregon, discovered a missing roof shingle beneath his solar array, a solar panel needed to be temporarily removed so roof repairs could be completed safely. Green Ridge Solar was not the original installer, but Matt reached out after needing a trusted solar service provider.

Solar service work like this requires careful coordination. Improper panel removal can damage roofs, compromise electrical systems, or impact long-term system performance. Situations like this demand experienced professionals who understand both solar and roofing considerations.

Our service team evaluated the system and developed a clear plan to safely remove the panel, coordinate with the roofing contractor, and reinstall the system once repairs were complete. Throughout the process, we prioritized honest communication, clear expectations, and professional execution.

The roof repair was completed successfully, the solar panel was reinstalled correctly, and the system was returned to normal operation. Matt highlighted the professionalism and transparency of our team, noting that the experience exceeded what he received from the original installer.



“Contacted Green Ridge Solar because we had a missing shingle and had to have a panel removed for the roofers to do repairs.

Green Ridge was able to remove the panel and their electrician Daniel was upfront, honest, and professional!

Overall Green Ridge Solar has been great and more helpful than the solar company that installed the panels in the first place.

I would recommend Green Ridge Solar to anyone that is interested in taking the leap into renewable energy!”
