Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Johns Creek, GA
Johns Creek is younger as a city than most of the roofs it now covers. It incorporated in 2006 from the old crossroads of Ocee, Newtown, Sheltonville and Warsaw, but its subdivisions went up through the 1980s and 1990s, and many of those houses are now on their second set of shingles, with arrays that were added somewhere in between.

Permits, power and roofs in Johns Creek
The city runs its own building and inspection office, and a solar reinstall typically needs an electrical permit and a final inspection. Georgia Power serves most homes and Sawnee EMC serves some, and neither expects a system to be switched back on after a roof job without hearing about it. Houses are large brick-front traditionals with steep rear roofs, and on some lots that rear plane faces south, which is where the arrays went. About thirteen miles of the Chattahoochee run along the city's southern edge, and the lots near the river sit under tall hardwoods. Hail is the usual reason for a re-roof, and the country club associations generally want every reinstall approved before a crew arrives.
In St. Ives and the Country Club of the South, gate access and association approval set the schedule as much as the roofer does. In Rivermont and the streets around the Atlanta Athletic Club, which hosted the 2011 PGA Championship, mature trees have grown into arrays installed a decade ago. The orphan problem shows up too: the installer is gone, the monitoring app has stopped reporting, and production has quietly dropped.

FAQ
Johns Creek: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Johns Creek?
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 Johns Creek?
Homes in Johns Creek are generally served by Georgia Power for most homes, with Sawnee EMC on some streets. 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.
