Check the roof and electrical scope with Garland
Garland’s resident permitting guidance includes roof replacement and electrical systems or repairs among projects that often require permits. Its Development Permitting Center connects residents with Building Inspections. Ask about your exact roof and solar scope, particularly if the work changes wiring or equipment rather than simply returning the existing array. Garland resident permitting guidance.

Price a reset and a system change as distinct work
Count the panels involved in the roof work and describe the existing array. Then list any desired changes separately: a different layout, more generating capacity, replacement equipment, or battery backup. A standard removal-and-reinstallation planning rate should not be treated as a quote for added solar equipment. Include your utility name when discussing a system change so applicable utility requirements can be reviewed.
Confirm the roof layout before ordering materials
Share the proposed roof material, any altered vents or roof features, and the roofer’s schedule. The mounting approach and available panel area need review if the roof changes. Agree on equipment storage, any replacement mounting components, and the checks included at completion. These decisions belong in the written scope before the work is scheduled.

| 20 panels | $3,200–$4,400 |
