Permits, power and roofs in Putnam County
Lake Oconee's newer houses tend to be large, with complex roofs and architectural shingle, and some gated communities have committees that want an array to look exactly as it did before. Eatonton's older houses near the courthouse are frame and brick with steeper roofs and less room for panels. Eatonton issues permits inside the city, and Putnam County covers the lake communities, Crooked Creek and the rural west. Georgia Power, Tri-County EMC and Central Georgia EMC all serve parts of the county, and Tri-County keeps a district office in Eatonton. Wind across open water, tall pines and oaks, and pollen thick enough to yellow a panel in April are the hazards here, and part of the Oconee National Forest lies in the county too.
Around Crooked Creek on Lake Oconee, owners usually want the array returned exactly as it was approved, since community rules and the view from the water both depend on it. Out toward Rockville and Willard, rural houses and farm buildings carry systems that get little attention until something stops working. In Eatonton, near the old downtown and out toward Rock Eagle, it is mostly re-roofs on brick ranches with a system that has to come off first.

FAQ
Putnam County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Putnam 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 Putnam County?
Homes in Putnam County are generally served by Georgia Power, Tri-County EMC or Central Georgia EMC, depending on the road. 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.
