Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Brantley County, GA

On the ground in Brantley County

Permits, power and roofs in Brantley County

Georgia leaves enforcement of the state building codes to local governments, so the first step is asking Brantley County, or Nahunta or Hoboken for addresses inside those towns, what a solar reinstall needs. Okefenoke REMC is headquartered in Nahunta and serves much of the countryside, Georgia Power serves much of the two towns, and Satilla REMC has parts of the county; each sets its own interconnection terms. Roofs lean toward exposed-fastener metal on farmhouses, with shingles on brick ranches in and around the towns. On metal, every attachment has to land in solid framing and seal tight at the screw, or it leaks. Flooding along the Satilla, like the major flooding during Irma, can close back roads for days.

Out toward Hortense and Waynesville, and along the Satilla near Atkinson, a common situation is an older system on a metal roof or a ground rack whose installer is long gone, with an inverter that has quietly stopped producing. In and around Nahunta and Hoboken, homeowners more often face a storm-damaged roof, an insurance check, and an array that has to come off before the roofer can start.
