Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Lee County
Lee County was the centre of Hurricane Ian's damage and the volume of roof replacement since has been extraordinary. Cape Coral alone is one of the largest solar markets on the Gulf coast. A lot of arrays came off in a hurry during that rebuild and went back on without a proper reset, and those are the roofs we get called to.

How we cover this county
We travel to Lee County, and here is the honest version
Lee County is outside our daily Orlando to Miami run, so we are not going to pretend there is a van around the corner. Southwest Florida is one drive across Alligator Alley from our base, which makes it the most realistic travel region we cover. We batch work between Naples, Fort Myers and Port Charlotte so several jobs share the trip, and that keeps the pricing sane. Two or three days notice is usually plenty here.

Permits, power and what the roofs are actually like
Lee permits through the county at Fort Myers or through Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach, and the coastal municipalities added requirements after Ian. Cape Coral alone is one of the largest residential solar markets on the Gulf coast. The rebuild after Ian generated an enormous number of hurried reinstalls, and those are what we are called to now: reused mounts, missing flashing, clamps that were never re-torqued, and arrays sitting on new roofs with old penetrations. Most Lee calls start with a ceiling stain rather than a production drop.
Lee County is the largest concentration of rushed post-Ian reinstalls in the state. Cape Coral alone keeps us busy, and most calls start with a stain on a ceiling.

What solar looks like in this part of Florida
Southwest Florida is still working through Hurricane Ian. The volume of roof replacement across Lee, Charlotte and Sarasota since has been unlike anything else in the state, and a great many arrays came off in a hurry and went back on with whoever was available that week. Loose clamps, reused mounts and unflashed penetrations from that period are what we are called out to now, usually when a ceiling starts staining.

FAQ
Lee County: common questions
Do you remove and reinstall solar panels in Lee County?
Yes. Southwest Florida is one drive across Alligator Alley from our base, which makes it the most realistic travel region we cover. We batch work between Naples, Fort Myers and Port Charlotte so several jobs share the trip, and that keeps the pricing sane. Two or three days notice is usually plenty here. There is a minimum job size that makes the drive make sense, and we will tell you honestly on the first call whether yours fits.
Who pulls the permit in Lee County?
We do. The reinstall needs a solar permit from Fort Myers or the Lee County building department, depending on the address, and in Florida only a licensed solar or electrical contractor can pull it. We handle it and meet the inspector.
Does being on the coast change anything?
It changes what fails. Salt air eats rails, clamps and grounding hardware long before it touches a panel, so on any Lee County job near the water we inspect every fastener before agreeing to put an array back on a new roof. Corroded hardware does not go back up.
