reroofing means disassembling and reassembling. You need to deconstruct, put the new roof on, then add the solar back.

The quoted cost of wasn't for the re-roofing, it was in addition to the re-roofing:

> "[solar] adds $20,000 - 25,000 to reroofing a house"

Since all of the scaffolding or whatever is already up for the roof work, if anything the solar ought to be cheaper, in that scenario.
