Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Brunswick, GA
Brunswick's Old Town is a grid of squares laid out in 1771 and lined with Victorian houses and tall roofs. Those roofs are rarely simple, cut up by gables, dormers and towers, which leaves an array squeezed onto whatever plane faces south. Beyond Old Town, older cottages and ranch houses sit on low ground near the marsh, where salt air works on every bolt.

Permits, power and roofs in Brunswick
The City of Brunswick issues its own building and electrical permits, and Glynn County handles the unincorporated land around it, so the first step is confirming which side of the city line a house is on. Old Town is a National Register district, and before an array moves to a new slope there it is worth asking the city whether any historic preservation approval applies. Houses from the late 1800s often have plank board decking instead of plywood, which changes how mounts are fastened and sealed. Georgia Power serves the city. Parts of Brunswick sit only a few feet above the marsh and the East River, and during Hurricane Matthew in 2016 flooded roads around the city cut off every route to St. Simons.
Along Union Street and around Hanover Square, the typical problem is an array on a tall Victorian roof where a slow leak at one mount has been working into old plaster. Near Lover's Oak and through the neighborhoods off Altama Avenue, it is more often a storm-worn shingle roof that needs replacing under a working system, or an inverter that quit after the company that installed it left the business.

FAQ
Brunswick: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Brunswick?
Often, yes, when it is planned. Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so Georgia work is booked ahead and grouped with other jobs in Coastal Georgia, and it only goes ahead with the Georgia license the work needs. Send the address, the panel count and the roofer's tear-off date for a straight answer.
Who is allowed to work on solar panels in Georgia?
Georgia treats the wiring side of solar as electrical contracting, so taking an array off, fixing it or putting it back belongs with a contractor licensed by the Division of Electrical Contractors of the State Construction Industry Licensing Board. There is no separate solar license, and cities and counties can add their own permit and business license rules.
Who reconnects the system in Brunswick?
Homes in Brunswick are generally served by Georgia Power. When an array goes back on after a roof job the utility usually needs to know, and the building department normally inspects the reinstall before the system is switched back on.
Does salt air change the job in Brunswick?
It changes what fails first. Salt attacks rails, clamps and grounding hardware long before it hurts a panel, so near the water every fastener gets checked and anything corroded is replaced rather than reused.
