Well, roof replacement was a long ways off when we went solar. It's still not absolutely necessary and could very well last until the end of the solar lease in 10 more years. Since I started this thread, I called the two service providers listed on the solar company's site, SunPower, which is in BK proceedings now, and one of them told me panel R&R due to needing a new roof may be covered by warranty. But, of course, there is no warranty provider until someone takes over the existing contracts. This may be worth waiting a little while on.
