The Solar-Safe Roofer Standard

1. Licensed and insured. An active Florida roofing license (CCC) in the company's name, general liability and workers' compensation in force. We check the license on the DBPR site before any badge is issued.

2. A permit on every solar job. The roof is permitted, and the solar detach and reinstall is permitted too, in the licensed contractor's name. No permit means no inspection, and the homeowner carries the risk.

3. A licensed solar contractor does the detach and reinstall. Named on the roofer's profile. Not the salesperson's friend, not an unlicensed crew paid cash per panel. If the person reinstalling your panels can't pull the permit, they shouldn't be on your roof.

4. All new attachments on every reinstall. Old mounts come off with the old roof. New flashed attachments go in on the new roof, with a written no-leak warranty on every attachment point (Fused's is 25 years).

5. One schedule, one coordinator. Panels come off the day before tear-off and go back as soon as the roof is dried in. One person coordinates the roof crew, the solar crew and the homeowner. Panels never sit on the lawn.

6. The system is turned back on and proven. After reinstall, the solar system is recommissioned, production is verified, and the homeowner gets photos of the attachments and the finished array.
