Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Laurens County, GA
Hurricane Helene brought down trees across Laurens County in September 2024, some of them onto houses. Tall pines and oaks over a roof are the main hazard to plan around here, for the shingles and for any array bolted to them. Dublin's older neighborhoods and the country roads around Dudley and Dexter have plenty of both.

Permits, power and roofs in Laurens County
Interstate 16 crosses Laurens County on its way between Macon and Savannah, and the Oconee River runs through Dublin, which issues its own permits while the county covers unincorporated land. Georgia Power serves Dublin and most of the towns. Oconee EMC, headquartered in Dudley, covers a big share of the countryside, and Altamaha, Little Ocmulgee, Ocmulgee and Washington EMCs each serve slices of a county this large. Housing ranges from early 1900s houses near downtown Dublin to brick ranches and farmhouses with metal roofs. When a storm claim pays for a new roof, an array that has to come off should be photographed and documented first, so the claim also covers putting it back.
Across the Oconee in East Dublin, and out around Rentz and Cadwell, homeowners deal with trees that grew up beside the house and now drop limbs on the panels most storm seasons. In Dublin, a panel cracked by a falling limb raises a matching question, since the original model is often discontinued and a replacement has to fit the same rails and electrical limits. A system from a closed company, with no one left to honor the warranty, is the other recurring problem.

FAQ
Laurens County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Laurens 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 Middle 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 Laurens County?
Homes in Laurens County are generally served by Georgia Power in Dublin and most towns; Oconee EMC, based in Dudley, and other co-ops in the country. 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.
