Permits, power and roofs in Jenkins County
With Millen the only city, the permit question has two answers at most: the city for in-town addresses and the county for everything else, and most reinstalls need an electrical inspection. Planters EMC, headquartered in Millen, serves much of the county, and Excelsior EMC and Jefferson Energy Cooperative serve other areas, each with its own interconnection rules. Roofs are commonly metal on farmhouses and older shingles in town. During a re-roof, the removed panels need a safe place to wait: stacked flat on padding, out of the roofers' path and covered from weather, because a panel cracked in the yard is just as dead as one broken on the roof.
In Millen, the older houses near downtown have tall roofs, and panels coming off them need careful handling and a safe spot to sit until the shingles are done. Around Perkins and Magnolia Springs, farm homes on Planters EMC lines carry systems whose original installers are gone. Summer thunderstorms keep adding insurance roofs to the list.

FAQ
Jenkins County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Jenkins 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 East Georgia, 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 Jenkins County?
Homes in Jenkins County are generally served by Planters EMC, based in Millen, across much of the county, with other co-ops in parts. 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.
