Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Kennesaw, GA
Kennesaw sits at the foot of its namesake mountain, beside Kennesaw State University. Most homes are 1980s to 2000s subdivisions with architectural shingle, a mix of two-stories and ranches, with enough roof area that arrays tend to be large and spread across more than one face.

Permits, power and roofs in Kennesaw
Kennesaw's building permits come from city hall, but plenty of houses with a Kennesaw mailing address sit outside the limits and permit through Cobb County instead. Cobb EMC serves a large part of the area and Georgia Power other streets, and each runs its own interconnection application. Subdivisions such as Legacy Park were built with homeowners associations that still enforce architectural standards. Roofs are typically moderate pitches over OSB decking, and many are still on shingles from the 1990s. The November 1992 tornado that hit the city is the extreme case, but routine spring hail and straight-line wind from thunderstorms end far more roofs.
Near downtown and the Southern Museum, older houses by the railroad have small roofs and short arrays that are simple to lift and reset. In Legacy Park and the neighborhoods off Cobb Parkway, the common situation is hail damage on a 1990s two-story. Below Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, tall hardwoods have grown into arrays put up in the 2010s.

FAQ
Kennesaw: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Kennesaw?
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 Kennesaw?
Homes in Kennesaw are generally served by Cobb EMC and Georgia Power, depending on the street. 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.
