A 1992 housing stock
The median Tualatin home dates to 1992, so a lot of roofs are 30-plus years old and a re-roof is likely. That is the usual reason panels have to come down. Fifty-five percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020-2024), so most of our callers own the roof outright.
One city, one county, one utility
Tualatin's Building Division works through its eTrakit portal and the city says all electrical permits are contracted to Washington County. PGE is the utility on the city utilities page. For a removal and reinstall that is three parties we line up for you: the city, the county, and PGE for the shutdown.
Tree canopy over the roof
Tualatin points to its tree canopy as a city priority. Heavy canopy means roofers find moss, debris, and sometimes damage under the panels, and we flag what we find while the array is off.

Questions we hear a lot
Who coordinates permits for panel removal in Tualatin?
We do. The city Building Division and Washington County for electrical are the two offices we check with.
How soon before the roofer starts should I call?
As early as you can. Give us the roofer's start date and we plan the removal around it.
Can my roofer remove the panels?
A roofer can move panels, but solar is high-voltage DC wiring. We use electricians so nothing cracks or gets bent.
