Permits, power and roofs in Dawson County
Rural addresses take permits from the county's planning and development office, while the City of Dawsonville handles its own limits. Amicalola EMC, Sawnee EMC and Georgia Power all serve parts of the county, and their rules for reconnecting a home system differ. The south end along GA 400 is largely subdivisions built since the late 1990s, with architectural shingles and big, cut-up roofs. Lake Lanier reaches into the southeastern corner of the county, and lake houses there sit on steep lots with tall hardwoods. Up GA 9, the old Thunder Road of the moonshine-running days, and toward Amicalola Falls, the highest waterfall in Georgia, cabins carry metal roofs on steep pitches, and winter ice can close the drives. Big Canoe spills over from Pickens County on the west side.
On the Lanier side of the county, lake houses sit low on steep lots, and trees that were cut back for the array years ago have grown over the roof again. Around Juno and the cabins below Amicalola Falls, the familiar problems are leaks at roof penetrations and systems whose installer closed. Big Canoe's Dawson homes bring the community's own rules about how an array goes back.

FAQ
Dawson County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Dawson 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 North Georgia Mountains, 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 Dawson County?
Homes in Dawson County are generally served by Amicalola EMC and Sawnee EMC, with Georgia 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.
