When the storm hits both the roof and the panels, the inspection should cover both.
Severe Texas hail and straight-line winds damage solar systems and roofs simultaneously. We inspect and document observed conditions in both systems and prepare construction estimates for proposed roofing and solar work.
Hail-prone Texas + a solar array = inspect both, every time.
Solar panels are tested to roughly 1" hail at terminal velocity. Texas regularly delivers 1.5"–3" hail. Even when glass survives, microinverters, optimizers, and racking can take damage that won't show up until your next production report. We inspect the roof under the array and the array itself in one visit, and we document observed conditions with photographs, measurements and construction estimates. We do not determine coverage, submit or pursue your claim, negotiate a settlement or represent you in an insurance dispute.
- Drone and on-roof photography of every panel and roof slope
- Microinverter / optimizer status check against pre-storm baseline
- Racking, clamp, and flashing inspection at every attachment
- Roof shingle damage documented with the panels in place where safe
- Coordinated roof and solar documentation: observed conditions, photographs and construction estimates for roof work and solar detach-and-reset services
- Recommended scope for repair vs. full system replacement
Panel & glass inspection
Drone and close-up photos to identify cracked glass, micro-fractures, and hot spots after hail.
Racking & attachment
Wind-loosened stanchions, flashing displacement, and lifted clamps documented per panel.
Construction report
Roof and solar damage in one document — photos, diagrams, scope, and Xactimate-ready line items.
Insurance Resources
General insurance terminology and roofing documentation; policy questions belong with an authorized insurance or legal professional.
Repair pathDetach & Reset
Construction estimates describe proposed detach-and-reset work. Insurance coverage and payment depend on the policy and insurer.
