Roof repair 3 floor town house, with solar panels

We have a tile shifted/moved/broken on the front and back of our 3 story town house, which has also got solar panels on. Is it possible to repair the roof without removing the solar panels completely. Or is the a company who are both solar installers and roof repairers. Or can it be repaired from the inside?

"Hi ian.
It is possible to repair just the broken tiles on the roof without removing the solar panels.
However if your looking to have the roof completely redone. Then the solar panels would need removing just to make sure there not damaged in the process.
most roofers now days are able to do both if needed.
Thanks

"It can't be repaired from the inside there's a good chance that you can replace the tiles without removing the solar panels but you will definitely need scaffolding"

"Good afternoon Ian.
Most solor panel companies will take them down twice a year for repairs/maintenance etc.
you normally would have to supply the scaffolding.
And sorry it cannot be done from the inside.

"How far under the solar panels are the broken /slipped tiles ??? It may be accessible without taking the solar panels off do you have photos"

"If it is under the solar panels then they will need to move the solar panels before roof repair can be done there is some company's which does both but it needs to be looked at first before you waste your money."
