Permits, power and roofs in Dodge County

Ocmulgee EMC is headquartered in Eastman and serves much of the county, Georgia Power serves Eastman itself, and Little Ocmulgee and Oconee EMCs reach into the edges, so the hookup after a reinstall depends on who reads the meter. Eastman handles permits inside the city, with Dodge County covering the farmland and, in most cases, the smaller towns. Eastman's older neighborhoods near the railroad have frame houses from the early 1900s, and newer houses are mostly brick ranches on country lots. The land is flat coastal plain, so wind from summer thunderstorms has little to slow it, and planted pines can grow tall enough to shade an array within ten years or so of a system going in.

Around Chester and Rhine, homeowners run into old farmhouse roofs giving out under arrays that were put on without a new roof first. In Eastman, a hail or wind claim that forces a re-roof is the more common trigger. Empire, on the Bleckley line, and Milan in the south both have systems from installers that worked the area for a season and never came back.
