How much does solar panel removal cost?

Our roof needs retiling and there are eight solar panels up there. What's the going rate to take them off and put them back afterwards? While they're down, should we also be doing anything to them (thinking like checking them for issues or small repairs, no idea)

"Hi you’re looking at £650 to remove the panels and safely disconnect! If scaffolding is needed then can be nearly £700 for scaffolding too"
