Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Dunwoody, GA
Most of Dunwoody was built between the early 1960s and the 1980s. Georgetown dates to the early 1960s and Dunwoody Village to the 1970s, and the typical house is a ranch, split-level or two-story traditional now on its second or third roof, often with solar added decades after the house went up.

Permits, power and roofs in Dunwoody
Dunwoody became a city in 2008 and handles its own building and electrical permits, separate from DeKalb County. Georgia Power is the utility for the whole city. The roof shapes suit solar, but the houses have aged: decking on many is original plywood, and a re-roof under an array can turn up soft spots that must be replaced before panels go back. Trees are the bigger factor. On April 8, 1998, a tornado cut through the city, damaging thousands of homes and flattening stands of forest, and the trees that regrew or were planted afterward can now be tall enough to shade arrays that were sited in full sun.
Near Brook Run Park and along Tilly Mill and Winters Chapel roads, a frequent snag is a split-level whose small upper roof had the array squeezed between vents and a chimney, which slows any re-roof. In Dunwoody North and around the Village, the common story is a house bought with solar already on it and no paperwork beyond a monitoring login that no longer works.

FAQ
Dunwoody: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Dunwoody?
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 Dunwoody?
Homes in Dunwoody are generally served by Georgia Power. 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.
