Why Choosing the Right Solar Reinstaller Matters
With over 84 years of experience serving Southern California, Baker Home Energy is one of the region’s largest and most trusted electrical contractors. We’ve helped over 30,000 homeowners achieve energy-saving solutions through solar, battery, HVAC, and roofing upgrades. That means for every rooftop solar installation, we’ve had to be experts not just in solar—but in roofing too.
If you already have solar, we’ll expertly remove and reinstall your panels during your reroof project. Unlike many other roofing companies Baker reinstalls your solar system with new equipment. Baker’s certified technicians follow manufacturer protocols to ensure your warranties remain intact and your system will continue to operate at peak efficiency for years to come.

Bundle Solar + Roofing Packages With Your Reinstalltion
When getting roof work done you could save when you add a battery, additional solar, or upgrade your inverters. Many solar panel and inverter warranties require professional handling. DIY or improper removal can void your coverage, leaving you unprotected if issues arise later. Baker’s certified technicians follow manufacturer protocols to ensure your warranties remain intact.
Why: If your energy needs have increased (e.g., EV charging, home additions, pool), adding panels during reinstallation is cost-effective. You’re already paying for labor and permitting, so expanding your system now avoids future reinstallation costs.
Upgrade Inverters
Why: If your system uses a string inverter and it’s older, upgrading to a newer, more efficient model—or switching to microinverters—can improve energy harvest, especially if your roof has partial shading or panels facing different directions. Microinverters also allow panel-level monitoring and easier maintenance.
Install a Battery Storage System
Why: Adding a battery allows you to store excess solar energy for use during peak hours, outages, or nighttime. It increases energy independence and can help reduce your utility bill if you’re on a time-of-use rate plan.
Excellent service removing panels and replacing them after our roof was repaired. Great service.
