We believe strongly in our core values
Since the early 2000s, solar deployment has seen rapid growth. As the market evolves, the demand for residential and commercial system removal, upgrades, and maintenance continues to rise. Nulife Power is committed to providing expert solutions for both home and business owners across California. From operations and maintenance (O&M) to comprehensive repowering and PV-end-of-life management, we offer a complete, one-stop service for all your solar needs.
OUR SERVICES
|
Decommissioning & Recycling (Commercial PV Systems)For commercial and industrial solar assets, decommissioning involves safely dismantling and removing the system, restoring rooftops or land for future use, or preparing sites for redevelopment. This process is often required when a system reaches the end of its useful life but can also be driven by equipment failure, expiring site leases or incentives, or the need to upgrade to newer, more efficient technology. Many jurisdictions now mandate that project applications include a decommissioning plan and cost estimate, and it is critical for owners to comply with EPA and state regulations for recycling and disposal. At NuLife Power, we deliver expert decommissioning and recycling services to help asset owners and operators manage the full lifecycle of their solar investments with confidence.

|
Solar Repowering and UpgradesSolar repowering involves upgrading aging PV modules, trackers, inverters, and other system components with new, more efficient technology. It can also include adding enhancements like energy storage solutions, such as batteries, or backup power options, like generators. Every system is unique and should be assessed individually. Our team of experts will ensure your system is optimized for efficiency and resilience.
|
|
System Removals & Reinstalls (Commercial PV Systems)Commercial roofs often carry warranties of 20–25 years, but repairs, upgrades, or storm damage can require replacement much sooner. Before any roofing work can begin, solar arrays must be safely removed and later reinstalled without compromising system integrity. At NuLife Power, we handle the complete process careful removal, inspection, storage, and reinstallation so your solar assets remain protected and ready for continued operation. Our expertise ensures minimal downtime, full compliance, and maximum asset preservation for commercial facility owners and operators.

|
Remediation & Retrofit ServicesWe specialize in bringing aging or underperforming solar systems back to standard through targeted remediation and retrofit efforts. Our services include thermal event cleanup, MC4 connector and RSD replacements, wire management improvements, inverter and panel swaps, and other corrective upgrades. Each project is approached with safety, compliance, and long-term reliability in mind delivering cost-effective solutions that restore system integrity and extend asset life. Connect with us today to learn how we can help recover and strengthen your solar investment.

FAQs
Q1: Why are solar systems being decommissioned?
There are several factors that may require a solar system to be repowered or decommissioned, and financials play a key part when making that decision. Additional reasons can include declining performance, the end of a contract, or weather events like severe storms that might cause enough damage to compel the same decision. More recently we have noticed that a need to reroof a building becomes another trigger, with many owners finding it more cost-effective to remove the older system and install a new one rather than reinstall the old equipment. Lastly, manufacturing defects can be another reason that modules require removal and disposal.
Q2: What do we do with the used solar components?
Solar modules are designed with a 25-year life expectancy, with some up to 30 years. According to a study from the National Renewable Energy Labratory (NREL), the average degradation rate is 0.50% across all solar panels. That means you could still expect your solar output to be about 89% of its original output after 25 years. There are three main options for what to do with used solar modules, with the condition, age and performance of the module dictating which option is best suited. Strings inverters are usually discarded, but some central inverters can be reused as scrapped for oem spare parts.
- Repurposing which allows the module a second-hand life for communities who otherwise could not afford solar power. Re-using solar panels makes sense for small off-grid applications, where producing electricity super efficiently with the latest solar technology isn’t essential.
- Refurbishing a module is the process of providing minor repairs for blemishes or damaged wire leads or connectors.
- Recycling is the process of separating all recycled materials including the modules glass, frames, wire leads and silicon wafers through thermal, mechanical, or chemical processing.
Q3: What does decommissioning entail and how much does it cost?
Decommissioning and recycling a solar system involves safely removing panels, inverters, wiring, and other components, and restoring the site to its original condition. Costs vary based on system size and complexity.
Depending on the remaining life of the solar panels, we may buy them for off-grid use or donate them to developing countries, supporting a circular economy and reducing your removal costs. All processes comply with EPA and state regulations.

Q4: What does remove & reinstalling a solar system for re-roofING entail and how much does it cost?
Removal and reinstallation (R&R) involves temporarily taking down solar panels or an entire solar system from a home or business and reinstalling them after re-roofing or remodeling is complete. The timeline and costs for R&R can vary depending on the size of the system and the complexity of the work. We offer comprehensive quotes. Contact us today to learn more!
Q5: What about repowering?
For both homes and businesses, repowering a solar system is not just a cost-saving measure—it’s a valuable reinvestment in your energy future. Repowering upgrades the technical condition of your solar system, ensuring better performance and reliability. This can be especially beneficial when your system approaches the end of its PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) or feed-in tariff terms. By installing new components, you can take advantage of improved efficiency, extended warranty periods, and reduced maintenance needs, all of which contribute to long-term energy savings and reliability.
Q6: Do I need permits for these services?
That depends on the individual and the county specific jurisdiction. For utility sites with feed-in-tariffs with higher regulations, it may require consulting with the regulatory body. We have worked with dozens of jurisdictions and can usually get through any permitting process with minimal delays.
