Permits, power and roofs in Douglas County
The county's development office permits unincorporated areas, and Douglasville and Villa Rica run their own building departments. GreyStone Power and Georgia Power split the county, and the reinstall goes on record with whichever one holds the account. Lithia Springs was a mineral-spring resort town in the late 1800s, and its older streets have steep roofs that have been reshingled many times. The 1970s and 1980s ranches across Douglasville are simple to work on, with low gables and easy attic access for wiring. Sweetwater Creek and the Dog River valley keep parts of the county heavily wooded, and pine needles and pollen pack under arrays by early summer. The September 2009 floods dropped more than 18 inches of rain on parts of the county, but the everyday roof hazard is spring hail.
Around Sweetwater Creek State Park and the older streets of Lithia Springs, tall hardwoods now shade arrays that were sited in full sun a decade ago. Near Arbor Place and along Chapel Hill Road, storm damage on a 2000s roof is the everyday scenario. Out toward Winston and Bill Arp, a few systems sit on outbuildings or ground racks, which bring their own wiring questions.

FAQ
Douglas County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Douglas 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 Douglas County?
Homes in Douglas County are generally served by GreyStone Power and Georgia Power, depending on the area. 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.
