Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Mitchell County, GA
Mitchell County is pecan country, and Hurricane Michael tore through its orchards in 2018. Solar here sits on houses in Camilla and Pelham, on farmhouses beside the groves and on the shops that serve them, and the trees bring two problems with them: shade, and squirrels.

Permits, power and roofs in Mitchell County
Camilla sells its own electricity, so an in-town system coming off for a re-roof is coordinated with the city, and Pelham and the county each handle their own permit questions. Out in the country, power comes from Mitchell EMC, based on Cairo Road in Camilla, or from Grady EMC in parts. Squirrels are a real problem in pecan country: they nest in the warm gap under panels and chew exposed wiring, and a critter guard around the array edge is worth adding whenever a system comes off. The roofs themselves are mostly shingles on brick ranches and older frame houses in town, and metal on farmhouses. Pecan limbs are heavy and brittle, and one coming down in a storm can crack glass and puncture the deck beneath it.
Between Baconton and the Flint, farm arrays lose output to groves that were planted long before the panels went up and have kept growing since. In Pelham and Sale City, many roofs were rebuilt after Michael, and some of the systems added during those years have already outlived the companies that sold them.

FAQ
Mitchell County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Mitchell 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 Southwest 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 Mitchell County?
Homes in Mitchell County are generally served by City of Camilla in town; Mitchell EMC, based in Camilla, and Grady EMC in the county. 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.
