Permits, power and roofs in Johnson County
Johnson County is the place to ask about permits for most rural addresses, and Wrightsville may handle its own inside city limits; a reinstall typically needs electrical approval. Washington EMC, which keeps an office in Wrightsville, and Altamaha EMC serve most rural roads, with Georgia Power and Jefferson Energy Cooperative in parts, so check the bill. Plenty of farmhouses here have had metal roofing screwed down over old shingles, and that changes the reinstall: mounts need longer fasteners or standoffs to reach solid framing through both layers, and the old shingles underneath can hide rot that nobody has seen since the metal went on. On older houses in Wrightsville, the solar wiring may predate current code, and a reinstall is the natural time to bring it up to date.
In Wrightsville, older houses with panels often need a full tear-off rather than another layer, and the array has to come off first. Around Kite and Adrian, metal-over-shingle roofs leave the original mounts too short to reach solid wood. After summer storms bring limbs down, these rural roofs often wait longest for help.

FAQ
Johnson County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Johnson 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 Johnson County?
Homes in Johnson County are generally served by Washington EMC and Altamaha EMC on most rural roads, with Georgia Power and Jefferson Energy 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.
