Straightline Solar Solutions safely removes and reinstalls rooftop solar panels so roof replacements stay on schedule — and homeowners' systems stay protected. We also specialize in the insurance side of solar work, coordinating directly with your contractor and insurance provider. Licensed, insured, and built for contractors who don't do solar.
Panels removed, labeled, stored, and reset after your new roof goes on.
When a roof with solar needs work, we take the panels off your plate — literally. One vendor for removal, storage, and reinstallation.
Safe, system-aware removal of panels, racking, and conduit ahead of any roof tear-off — with proper electrical disconnect.
Panels are labeled, inventoried, and stored safely on-site or off-site while your crew completes the new roof.
Panels remounted to manufacturer spec, re-flashed, sealed, and reconnected — then tested to confirm the system is producing.
Photos, panel counts, and condition reports at every stage — clean paperwork for insurance files and homeowner warranties.
Optional panel cleaning, critter guard, and minor racking repairs while the array is down and easy to access.
Serving roofing partners and homeowners across Illinois, from Chicagoland through Central and Southern IL.
Solar shouldn't cost you a job. Subcontract the detach & reset to us and keep your crews on the roof. We're your behind-the-scenes solar partner — your customer, your brand, our panels.
Getting your roof replaced but have panels in the way? We remove your solar system, keep it safe during the roof work, and reinstall it correctly so it keeps producing — all properly documented for your warranty.
Solar makes insurance roof claims complicated — we make them simple. Beyond the detach & reset itself, we specialize in the insurance side of solar work and coordinate directly with your contractor and insurance provider. That means the solar scope gets documented, supplemented, and approved without the back-and-forth slowing down the job.
Predictable steps that keep the roof job moving and the solar system protected.
Send us the address, panel count, and roof timeline. We return a flat per-panel price fast.
Before tear-off, we disconnect and remove the panels, racking, and conduit, then label and store everything.
Your crew completes the new roof on a clear deck — no panels, no obstacles, no delays.
We remount, re-flash, reconnect, and test the system, then hand over full photo documentation.
Roofing companies make their money on the roof — not wrestling with someone else's solar array. We're the dedicated detach & reset partner who makes solar a non-issue, so you can win more jobs and protect your reputation.

Straightline Solar Solutions is a brand of D2D Dowds LLC.
It's the safe removal of a rooftop solar system before roof work, and the reinstallation of that same system afterward. The panels, racking, and wiring come off so the roof can be replaced, then go back on the new roof and get reconnected and tested.
Both. Many of our jobs come through roofing and restoration companies who subcontract the solar portion to us, but homeowners can also hire us directly for a detach & reset around their roof replacement.
We price per panel, which keeps it simple and predictable for both roofers and homeowners. Send us the panel count and project details and we'll get you a firm quote — usually within 48 hours.
In most cases a solar detach & reset is part of the insurance roof claim. We specialize in the insurance side of solar work and coordinate directly with your contractor and insurance provider — scoping the solar line items, supplementing when needed, and supplying claim-ready documentation so it gets approved and paid without the runaround.
We reinstall to manufacturer specifications and document the work with photos at every stage, which is exactly what warranty and insurance files require. We always recommend confirming any specifics with your panel manufacturer or installer as well.
The sooner the better, especially in peak roofing season. Reach out as soon as you know a roof with solar is on the calendar and we'll coordinate the detach around your tear-off date.
Yes. We carry insurance specifically for handling solar equipment so both the homeowner's system and our roofing partners are protected throughout the job.
One call and the panels are off your plate. Fast quotes, insured handling, and clean documentation — every time.
