Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in West Melbourne, FL

Permits, power and roofs in West Melbourne
Voters created West Melbourne in 1959 mainly to avoid annexation by Melbourne, and the city has bought its water from that neighbor, but permits and inspections run through West Melbourne's own building department. FPL serves every address. Subdivisions along Minton Road, Hollywood Boulevard and Ellis Road were mostly built after 2002 with trusses, dimensional shingle and roof decks fastened to the newer wind standard. Those shingle roofs are now reaching twenty years, the age when insurers start pressing for replacement, and arrays added in the 2010s have to come down first. Older streets near New Haven Avenue hold smaller block homes from the 1960s and 1970s. Open retention ponds and young landscaping mean most arrays here have sun from morning to evening.
In the newer subdivisions off Minton Road and Hollywood Boulevard, the typical case is a shingle roof near twenty years old with an array added later, and an insurer pushing for a new roof. Around the I-95 interchange near Hammock Landing, communities with associations want the reinstall to match what was approved. On the older streets close to US 192, smaller systems from closed installers often need a working inverter before the roof even comes up.

FAQ
West Melbourne: questions homeowners ask
Do you remove and reinstall solar panels in West Melbourne?
Yes, every week. West Melbourne is on our Orlando to Miami route, so it is normal scheduling with no travel charge, and the reinstall is lined up with your roofer's tear-off date.
Who can pull the permit to reinstall solar in West Melbourne?
Only a licensed solar or electrical contractor, because a roofing license does not cover it. The reinstall usually needs its own permit and inspection through Brevard County or the city, depending on the address.
Who reconnects the system in West Melbourne?
Homes in West Melbourne are generally served by FPL. When an array goes back on after a roof job the utility usually needs to know, and the building department normally inspects the reinstall before the system is switched back on.
My installer went out of business. Can the system still be fixed?
Usually. The installer's own workmanship warranty is gone, but the panels, inverter and optimizers carry manufacturer warranties that normally still apply, and a dead system is often one failed part rather than a worn-out array.
