Is there a way to move to roof up and build the second floor without destroying the roof?

@muppethero I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but if you put a roof on the first floor and you want to go up a level (roof up) and add a second floor but not have it delete the roof you have on the first floor, then yes and no.

If you have a roof on the first floor, and you go to the second floor and begin creating rooms on that level, you will usually see the roof that you made already 'clip' (disappear) in the areas where you make the new rooms there. Sometimes making the rooms on the second floor will simply delete the roof, and sometimes the roof that was there may not 'clip' where it meets the new room and may go right into it (not the normal behavior, but sometimes it happens). It all depends on how you make the second floor and what type of roofing you had already added to the first floor.
I have occasionally literally moved a roof up a level (or just sat it on the ground temporarily) before in order to add it back onto another floor level or to put back in place after making a room.

I hope that makes sense. I apologize if I'm not making sense, as I may be misunderstanding the question. If so, please clarify.

I guess the issue is all my roof solar panels. I will just take them off.

  @muppethero You could do that, or move the roof and see if the panels will successfully move with it. It may depend on the angle and the type of roofing they're on (and if you placed them with MOO). Or you can move the panels that will overlap rooms you're adding to your inventory, then add them to the roofing you add to your new room(s) or something like that. I hope it works out in a way you're very happy with. 🙌
