Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Henry County, GA
Henry grew faster than almost any county in the country in the mid-1990s. Stockbridge, McDonough, Hampton and Locust Grove are ringed by subdivisions built in a rush between the 1990s and 2008, and many of those houses are due for their first full re-roof, often under arrays added years after the builder left.

Permits, power and roofs in Henry County
Henry County's building department on Henry Parkway in McDonough permits the unincorporated areas, and the four cities each run their own. Two co-ops carry much of the load: Snapping Shoals EMC serves large parts of the county, Central Georgia EMC serves others, and Georgia Power has the rest, each with its own record of rooftop systems. Roofs are mostly 6/12 builder gables, so the mechanical side of a reinstall is simple. Trouble tends to come from original builder-grade flashing and from roof vents placed right where an array wants to sit. Hail and thunderstorms are routine, and around the Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton and south toward Locust Grove, the land opens up and wind exposure grows.
In Eagle's Landing and the older Stockbridge subdivisions, the familiar case is a late-1990s two-story on its original roof with an array bolted on in the 2010s. Around Heron Bay and Locust Grove, newer houses bring hail claims and strict association rules. Some systems in the county may have come from installers that later closed, Pink Energy among them, and those owners have nobody to service them.

FAQ
Henry County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Henry 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 Henry County?
Homes in Henry County are generally served by Snapping Shoals EMC, Central Georgia EMC 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.
