Decommissioning · DCom
Decommissioning, done right.
When a system needs to come down, for a roof replacement, an upgrade, or end-of-life, we disconnect, dismantle and document with the same discipline we use to build.

Overview
What we deliver.
Site assessment
Pre-DCom audit of structure, electrical, equipment condition and disposal pathways.
Safe disconnection
Lockout/tagout, isolation, controlled discharge, and hazard mitigation aligned with OSHA standards.
Labeling & inventory
Module-by-module labeling, BOM capture, photographic documentation for downstream reuse or repurpose.
Site restoration
Roof penetrations sealed, racking removed cleanly, and the site returned to a working state.

Detail
When DCom makes sense.
Decommissioning isn't always end-of-life, sometimes it's a step in a larger lifecycle plan. We help you choose the right path.
Roof replacement
Temporary removal where the roof underneath has reached end of life. Pairs with our R&R service for reinstallation.
System upgrade
Full-system replacement with newer modules, higher-efficiency inverters or expanded capacity.
End-of-life
Permanent removal at end of system life, with proper disposal, recycling pathways and AHJ closeout.
Asset transition
Removal as part of a property sale, lease change, or repurposing of the underlying site.
Storm or damage events
Emergency decommissioning where safety or insurance requires controlled removal.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can you DCom and reinstall the same system?+
Yes, that's typically a Removal & Reinstallation (R&R) engagement, where we handle both the DCom and the reinstall together with full continuity.
How long does a typical DCom take?+
Residential systems: 1–3 days. Commercial systems: 1–4 weeks depending on scale, access and weather windows.
What happens to the equipment?+
Modules are catalogued for potential reuse or routed to recycling partners. Inverters, racking and BOS are evaluated case by case.
Do you handle the AHJ side?+
Yes, AHJ notification, closeout filings and any utility coordination required to formally retire the system.
