Solar Roof Leaks Are a Two-Problem Emergency

When water gets in through a solar panel penetration, you have two problems at once: an active roof leak and a solar system that may be compromised. Most roofing contractors aren’t equipped to safely remove and reinstall solar panels, and most solar companies don’t handle roof repairs. Fix My Solar is one of the few companies that can address both sides of the problem โ€” or coordinate the right professionals for each.

The most common cause of solar-related roof leaks is failed or improper flashing around roof penetrations โ€” the bolts, lag screws, and conduit entry points that were drilled through your roof during the original solar installation. When these flashings fail, age, or were never properly sealed to begin with, water finds its way in. Florida’s summer rainstorms, temperature cycling, and UV exposure accelerate this process significantly.

Fix My Solar assesses the leak source, performs minor flashing and sealant repairs directly, and for more significant damage โ€” rotted decking, damaged structural members, mold โ€” we work alongside your trusted roofer or recommend one from our contractor network. Throughout the process, we manage the solar system: removing panels when needed, documenting everything for insurance, and reinstalling after the roof is repaired.

Two Types of Solar Roof Leaks โ€” Both Covered

๐Ÿ”ง Minor Leak Repair (We Handle It)

Failed flashing, dried sealant, loose lag bolt boots โ€” these are the most common causes of solar roof leaks and Fix My Solar handles them directly. Our licensed technicians:

  • Remove affected panels to access the leak source
  • Re-flash and re-seal penetrations with appropriate roofing-grade materials
  • Replace failed lag bolt boots and conduit entry sealants
  • Inspect all other penetrations while we’re up there
  • Reinstall panels and verify system is fully operational
  • Provide photo documentation throughout

๐Ÿš๏ธ Major Damage (We Coordinate Everything)

When a leak has caused rotted plywood, damaged structural members, or mold, the repair goes beyond flashing. Fix My Solar coordinates the full remediation:

  • Remove all panels safely and store during roof work
  • Work with your trusted roofer โ€” or recommend one from our network
  • Coordinate rot remediation, structural repair, and re-decking
  • Document all damage with photos for insurance claims
  • Provide written scope of damages and repair estimate
  • Reinstall panels and re-commission system after roof is complete

Insurance Documentation โ€” We've Done This Before

Solar-related roof leaks are commonly covered under Florida homeowner’s insurance policies โ€” particularly when the original installation work is the proximate cause of the leak. Fix My Solar provides detailed written documentation specifically designed to support insurance claims:

  • Written assessment identifying the leak source and connection to solar installation
  • Photo documentation of all damage โ€” panels, racking, flashing, decking, interior damage
  • Scope of repair with itemized cost estimates
  • Licensed contractor signature (CVC 57199) on all documentation

We work directly with homeowners, public adjusters, and insurance adjusters throughout Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties. If you’re filing a claim, call us before your adjuster visits โ€” our documentation makes a material difference in claim outcomes.

Why Fix My Solar for Roof Leak Repair

Frequently Asked Questions โ€” Solar Roof Leak Repair

The most reliable sign is water entry that tracks back to a solar racking bolt, conduit penetration, or flashing point. Fix My Solar’s inspection will trace the leak path from the interior damage point back to its source on the roof. We inspect all penetrations โ€” not just the obvious ones โ€” because failed flashings don’t always leak directly below their location.
Yes โ€” this is one of our most common services in conjunction with roof work. We safely remove and label all panels, cap and protect all electrical connectors, document the system configuration, and coordinate directly with your roofer on timing and access. We reinstall and re-commission the system once the roof work is complete.
In many cases, yes โ€” particularly when the leak is attributable to failed installation workmanship or storm-related damage. Fix My Solar provides written damage documentation with licensed contractor signature specifically structured to support insurance claims. We recommend calling us before your adjuster visits so our documentation is ready.
Call us directly at (561) 284-8995. We prioritize active leak situations and work to schedule emergency visits as quickly as possible across Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties. In the meantime, if water is actively entering, place buckets, avoid the area below the leak, and do not attempt to remove panels yourself.
Potentially yes โ€” improper installation that leads to roof damage may be a contractor liability claim against the original installer’s bond and insurance. Fix My Solar’s written documentation of the leak source and its connection to installation workmanship is the foundation for such a claim. We recommend consulting with a Florida contractor’s license attorney if you believe your installer is responsible.

โš ๏ธ Original Installer Out of Business? You're Not Stuck.

If your system was installed by Sunnova, SunPower, ADT Solar, Pink Energy, or any other company that has since closed โ€” Fix My Solar steps in. We identify the original installation, assess the leak, document the damage, and manage the repair. You have options even when your original installer doesn’t.
