Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Clayton County, GA
Hartsfield-Jackson takes up the north end of Clayton, and the county's housing grew outward from it. Brick ranches from the 1950s through the 1970s fill Forest Park, Riverdale and Morrow, while the south end toward Lovejoy is newer, larger and more often inside a homeowners association.

Permits, power and roofs in Clayton County
Clayton's community development office permits the unincorporated areas, including Rex and the Clayton side of Ellenwood, and cities such as Forest Park, Jonesboro and Riverdale generally keep their own permit counters. Most homes are on Georgia Power, with Central Georgia EMC and Coweta-Fayette EMC in parts of the county. The older ranches have simple, low roofs that suit solar, but some were re-roofed right over the original shingles at some point, and a reinstall is the time to strip both layers down to the deck. Summer thunderstorms are the routine hazard, and straight-line wind and hail do more roof damage here year to year than tornadoes. Lake Spivey and the Reynolds Nature Preserve hold some of the county's tallest trees.
Around Lake Spivey, older lakefront houses sit under tall trees, and shade has crept up on arrays over the years. In Forest Park, near the former Fort Gillem, the common sight is an older ranch whose roof has failed around the mounts. Toward Lovejoy, newer subdivisions bring hail claims on 2000s roofs and associations that insist on the original layout.

FAQ
Clayton County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Clayton 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 Metro Atlanta, 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 Clayton County?
Homes in Clayton County are generally served by Georgia Power for most homes, with Central Georgia EMC and Coweta-Fayette EMC 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.
