Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Gwinnett County, GA
Gwinnett is Georgia's second most populous county, and most of its houses were built after 1980. That puts an enormous number of shingle roofs in the same age range, and arrays added in the 2010s now sit on roofs that are due for replacement across whole subdivisions at once.

Permits, power and roofs in Gwinnett County
Gwinnett's Planning and Development department permits the unincorporated areas, which still hold a large share of the county's homes, from Five Forks and Mountain Park to Centerville and Rosebud. Cities such as Lawrenceville and Duluth keep their own building offices. Power is unusually divided: Georgia Power, Jackson EMC and Walton EMC split the county, and Buford, Lawrenceville and Norcross run city systems, each with its own interconnection forms. Most homes are two-story subdivision houses with architectural shingle over OSB, many inside associations with swim and tennis amenities and an architectural committee. Hail rolls across the county most springs, and the pine woods between subdivisions drop needles that collect under arrays.
In Hamilton Mill and the golf-course neighborhoods at the north end, the familiar case is hail damage on a big two-story with a long array split across roof faces. Around Five Forks and Mountain Park, older houses carry systems added later, and leaks at the mounts are common. Some systems here may also come from installers that have since closed, Pink Energy among them, which leaves their owners without service.

FAQ
Gwinnett County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Gwinnett 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 Gwinnett County?
Homes in Gwinnett County are generally served by Georgia Power, Jackson EMC and Walton EMC, plus city systems in Buford, Lawrenceville and Norcross. 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.
