Permits, power and roofs in Carroll County
Permits for unincorporated addresses come from the county's Community Development department on College Street in Carrollton, while Carrollton keeps its own building office and the smaller towns may too. Carroll EMC, headquartered in Carrollton, serves much of the rural county, GreyStone Power covers some areas and Georgia Power others, and the co-ops decide for themselves how a member's array is reconnected after a roof job. Housing ranges from new subdivisions around Villa Rica and Temple to 1970s brick ranches near Bowdon and old farmhouses with metal roofs south toward the Chattahoochee. The Mother's Day tornadoes of May 2008 tore through the county, and hail claims remain one of the most common reasons a roof gets replaced here.
Inside Fairfield Plantation the first question is what the property owners' association will allow when an array goes back up, and whether it has to match the old layout. Around Mount Zion, Temple and Bowdon, the familiar problems are a system from an installer that closed and pines that have grown into the afternoon sun. Near Whitesburg and McIntosh Reserve, older farmhouses bring leaks at the mounts.

FAQ
Carroll County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Carroll County?
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 Northwest 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 Carroll County?
Homes in Carroll County are generally served by Carroll EMC and Georgia Power, with GreyStone Power in parts. 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.
My installer went out of business. Can the system still be fixed?
Usually. The installer's own workmanship warranty is gone, but the panels, inverter and optimizers carry manufacturer warranties that normally still apply, and a dead system is often one failed part rather than a worn-out array.
