Removing Solar Panels For Roof Replacement in Cape Coral, FL

[Terry Fox]

Considering a roof replacement for rental property.  There are solar panels on roof to heat the pool.  The panels and roof are 20 years old.  The roofing company says they won’t touch the panels.  Local solar company also says they will only do complete replacement due to age.  This adds $3500-$4000 to job.  Anyone been through something similar?  Any good ideas on best way to handle this?
