Permits, power and roofs in Schley County

Inside Ellaville the city is also the power company, so a reconnection after a roof job runs through city hall, which is also the place to ask about permits. Outside town, permit questions go to the county, and the meter belongs to Flint Energies or Sumter EMC depending on the road, each with its own interconnection form. Houses are a mix of frame farmhouses under metal, brick ranches from the 1960s and 1970s, and manufactured homes, which rarely suit panels and usually point toward a ground mount. Planted pine is everywhere, and a loblolly that was ten feet tall when a system went up can be shading it a few years later. The damage that reaches roofs here is more often summer thunderstorm wind than anything tropical.

Near La Crosse and Murrays Crossroads, ground-mounted arrays in pasture corners collect vines, fire ants nest in the combiner boxes, and mowers nick exposed conduit. In Ellaville itself, older houses on the streets around the 1899 courthouse often need decking repairs once the panels come off, because nobody has seen under them in years.
