Default Pool solar

My roof is leaking under the pool solar panels. However, I can’t find a solar panel company to pull the panels to have a roofing company fix the roof for at least 2 weeks. Does anyone know of a pool solar company that works in the Villages that can get to jobs in a few days?

Solar Lights and More out of Ocala are booking 2-4 weeks out. If you haven't talked to them you might explain your predicament.
We just had a leaking panel that we waited three weeks to get repaired.

Do you have your solar system on bypass which stops all water from going to the panels?

The solar is off, but the solar panels are not leaking. The roof under the solar panels leaks in heavy rain.

call the person that originally put in the solar panel. they where probably the ones that caused the roof to leak when the panels where installed.

T and D won’t touch the solar. I can’t find who originally installed the system, it was before I moved in three years ago. I doubt that installation caused this as the system and roof was inspected when I bought the house three years ago. Right now I’m going with One Restore, that seems to be a general contractor and find folks to do roof,ceiling, and all other stuff.

That's why nothing goes on my roof. Solar or satellite

Had the same problem with leaking solar panels last year. To be very honest they were not that effective for our installation. The normal sun heating vs solar tube heating was effectively the same. Did not like the worry whenever storms would come in. We also have a heat pump on the pool that works very good if needed. Make sure whoever removes it knows how to seal the roof properly. We had a tile roof but the team did a good job sealing everything after removal. T&D would not touch it!
